dc into same st, loosely sl st into same st, sc into next st, sl st into next st. Repeat from * ending on a sl st
into 1st st at beginning of round. Fasten off. [12 petals]

Weave in your ends and you have completed the sunflower coaster. I would highly recommend laying the
coaster flat under something reasonably heavy for at least a day to get the flat finish pictured. (The
longer you can leave it the better) See below photos of the effects of flattening.
 Before any attempt to flatten. After being flattened by hand. After being under several
heavy books for a couple of
days

Yarn comparison:

This pattern is very adaptable and can be used to create a variety of

different looks, I have included a photo to show you the difference
in changing the yarn brand, type and weight. My personal favourite
is the Sugar’n Cream Cotton yarn however as this is a heavier yarn it
does require more effort to flatten to get the photo’d outcome.

Finished sizes:
Sugar’n Cream = 6inches
Acrylic DK = 5.5inches
Paintbox DK = 5inches
