Beginner Friendly Crochet Flip Up 3D Rose Garden Coaster Pattern

Split your 4-ply yarn into 2 plies (or use a lightweight 2-ply yarn) with the 2.0 mm hook.

Full Rose (8 Petals):

1. Leave a short tail, place hook over the yarn, twist once, and pull through to start.

2. Ch 17.

3. In the 2nd chain from hook, pick up the top loop and work 2 hdc into that chain (hdc inc).

4. In the next chain, work 1 sl st. (First petal complete)

5. Repeat across the remaining chains until you have 8 petals in total.

6. Fasten off leaving a short tail.

Mini Rosebud (4 Petals):

1. Ch 9.

2. In the 2nd chain from hook, work 2 hdc.

3. In the next chain, work 1 sl st.

4. Repeat across until you have 4 petals in total.

5. Fasten off.

Assembling the Flower Heads:

1. Cut a length of 0.5 mm craft wire (around 12 to 18 cm depending on desired stem height).

2. Apply a thin line or small dot of craft glue along the flat base edge of the petal strip.

3. Place the tip of the craft wire against one end of the strip.

4. Roll the crocheted strip tightly around the wire tip to form a rose bud/blossom, pressing gently until the glue sets.

Part 4: Calyx (Green)

Using 2 strands of green yarn (or 2 plies) and the 2.0 mm hook.

1. Make a magic ring.

2. First sepal: Ch 4. In the 2nd chain from hook, work 1 sl st. In the next chain, work 1 sc. In the next chain, work 1 hdc. Sl st back down into the magic ring.

3. Second sepal: Ch 4. In the 2nd chain from hook, work 1 sl st. In next chain, work 1 sc. In next chain, work 1 hdc. Sl st back into the magic ring.

4. Third sepal: Ch 4. In the 2nd chain from hook, work 1 sl st. In next chain, work 1 sc. In next chain, work 1 hdc. Sl st back into the magic ring.

5. Pull the loop long, cut the yarn, and pull the magic ring tail firmly to close the center hole, creating a 3-pointed calyx.

Part 5: Stem Leaves (Green)

Using green yarn and the 2.0 mm hook.

1. Ch 5.

2. In the 2nd chain from hook: 1 sl st.

3. In the 3rd chain: 1 sc.

4. In the 4th chain: 1 hdc.

5. In the 5th (last) chain: 1 sc.

6. Pull the loop out and cut the yarn, leaving a tail for wrapping.

Part 6: Stem Wrapping & Vine Assembly

1. Slide the craft wire extending from the bottom of a rolled rose down through the center opening of a calyx. Pull snug against the base of the flower.

2. Take a strand of green yarn and wrap it firmly and tightly around the wire stem right below the calyx base.

3. Continue wrapping down the wire for about 1 to 2 cm.

4. Lay the base of a crocheted leaf against the stem, then wrap over its tail to securely bind the leaf to the vine.

5. Continue wrapping yarn tightly down the stem wire. Fasten the yarn with a touch of glue at the bottom.

6. Repeat this process to make approximately 10 to 12 flower vines of varying heights and sizes (some taller, some shorter; some with full blooms, some with small buds).

Part 7: Final Assembly & Shaping

1. Attaching the Stems to the Base:

   • Thread a blunt tapestry needle through the lower end of a stem wire.

   • Insert the needle between the two ruffled lace rows into the outer edge of the main coaster base.

   • Pull the wire through to the underside of the base.

   • Using craft pliers, trim any excessive wire length, then bend the remaining wire flat against the crochet fabric on the back.

   • Using a needle threaded with main-body-colored yarn, sew several firm anchoring stitches over the bent wire to secure it invisibly inside the stitch work (alternatively, secure the bent wire ends flat to the base with a dot of hot glue).

2. Arrange the Vines:

   • Attach all rose stems spaced evenly around the circular perimeter.

   • Bend, curve, and twist the flexible wire stems upward or outward to create an enchanting climbing garden border around your coaster.
