Why design like this?

Recently, I got stuck in the flower collection, and while designing one of the flowers, I came up with the idea of making a flower coaster! It was a super fast project, even though I couldn’t decide whether to keep only the 8-petal version or both of them.

Both versions!

I wasn’t sure if the 10-petal design would be too crowded, but after testing, I decided to keep it!

A coaster? Of course, it needs a cup!

Just a simple photo to show the cup over the coaster. 10-petals version below the cup!

Written Pattern:

Row 0 [WS]: ch for the desired length, turn [I made 16th chains]

Note for row 1: I made the sc in the back bump of the chains

Row 1 [RS]:  sk 1st ch,  ch1 , turn [total 15]
Row 2 [WS]: sl st flo* in each of the ch, ch1, turn [total 15]

Note: Use the loop nearer to the WS of the work, blo looking from the RS, which means flo working on the WS.

Row 3 [RS]: ks in each of the sc of Row 1, ch1, turn [total 15]

Repeat rows 2-3 until you reach your desired size. I made 26 rows in total.
Cut the yarn and weave the ends in!

Border:

Note: The border is optional. In my sample, I made a simple border with slip stitches (sl st).

Rotate your work 90 degrees to work on the side. Slip stitch (sl st) in each row with knit stitch (ks) [total number of rows/2]. Rotate again, slip stitch in each stitch of the bottom part of your potholder. Rotate again, slip stitch in each row with knit stitch. Finally, rotate and slip stitch in each stitch of the top part of your work

Why design like this?

I wish to create something that is both easy to make and useful, while also having a nice pattern. The knit stitch works beautifully in rounds, but I decided to challenge myself by using it in a flat design. It was quite a challenge, but I’m very pleased with how the design turned out.

Final design and first attempt.

Usually, when I’m designing a pattern, I create a small sample at the beginning. So, here is the small coaster, which serves as a sample.

A coaster? Of course, it needs a cup!

Just a simple photo to show the cup over the coaster. However, I would like to showcase the pattern, so the cup is on the side.
