• Each coaster is made from a square cream base, then decorated with separate crochet details.
• The lemon slice is centered on the coaster.
• The white blossoms and sage leaves are placed in one corner only.
• Keep appliqués flat enough so a glass can sit safely on the coaster.

Sew the blossoms over the leaves using the white tails.

Leave the outer edges of the blossoms slightly raised for a soft handmade look.

Weave in all ends on the back of the coaster.

Make the Full Coaster Set

Repeat the full pattern to make 4 matching coasters.

For a pretty set, keep every coaster consistent:

• warm cream square base
• centered lemon slice
• white citrus edge
• white embroidered lemon segments
• sage leaves and tiny white blossoms in one corner

You can place the blossom corner in the same position on every coaster, or mirror the corners for a balanced table set.

Finishing

Weave in all yarn tails securely.

Check that the lemon slice, blossoms, and leaves are firmly attached.

Block each coaster gently into a square shape.

Let the coasters dry completely before using.

If the lemon slice feels too raised under a glass, press it lightly with your fingers while blocking.

Do not flatten the blossoms completely.

Tips & Variations

Use cotton yarn for the best coaster texture.

Use a slightly smaller hook if your coaster feels too loose.

Use bright lemon yellow for a fresh summer look.

Use softer pale yellow for a calmer farmhouse style.

Make the base in cream for the cleanest lemon blossom look.

Try a set with matching napkin rings or a small lemon blossom mug rug.

For extra durability, sew the lemon slice around both the outer edge and a few inner segment lines.

For a larger coaster, add 2 extra base rows and one extra border round.

FAQ

Is this coaster pattern beginner-friendly?

Yes. The square base is simple, and the lemon, flowers, and leaves are small appliqués sewn on after.

What yarn works best for crochet coasters?

Cotton yarn works best because it is sturdy, absorbent, and holds its shape well.

Can I make the lemon slice smaller?

Yes. Use a smaller hook or stop after Round 3 if you want a smaller lemon appliqué.

Can I wash these coasters?

Yes, if you use washable cotton yarn. Hand washing and laying flat to dry will help the flowers and leaves keep their shape.

Conclusion

This lemon blossom glass coaster set is a cheerful crochet project for summer drinks, kitchen decor, and handmade gifts. The cream square base, raised lemon slice, tiny white blossoms, and sage leaves make each coaster feel fresh, useful, and beautifully handmade.
