Why Tulip Coasters Will Brighten Your Day
There's something magical about tulips—their elegant shape, vibrant colors, and the way they signal spring's arrival. Now imagine capturing that same joy in a practical item you'll use every day! These crochet tulip coasters aren't just pretty; they're conversation starters that protect your furniture with style.
As someone who's been crocheting for years, I can tell you that flower-shaped coasters always receive compliments. Whether you're hosting a garden party, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or looking for a thoughtful handmade gift, these tulip coasters fit the bill perfectly.
Materials You'll Need for Your Crochet Tulip Coasters
Before diving into this fun project, gather these supplies:
- Worsted weight cotton yarn in green (for leaves)
- Worsted weight cotton yarn in your choice of tulip colors (red, pink, yellow, purple—whatever makes you happy!)
- Size G/6 (4.0mm) crochet hook
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
- Stitch markers (optional)
Cotton yarn works best for coasters as it's absorbent and durable. Plus, the stiffness of cotton helps your tulip coasters maintain their shape through many uses.

I used a yarn blend of 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. Each skein is 165 meters long and weighs 50 grams.
