Sunflower Coaster Crochet Pattern
Bring the sunshine inside with this sunflower coaster crochet pattern!
I love sunflowers, we even grew some once when my son was little. These coasters are such a fun way to add a pop of colour to your home plus they’re quick and easy to make. Perfect for giving as gifts or keep them for yourself (I won’t tell).

Fasten off and weave in ends.
You may block your coaster if you wish (I didn’t feel it was necessary) otherwise gently tug and shape each petal into place.
