Small Flower Wheel Coaster Square

by saraphir
Follow me

As promised in my earlier this summer I am continuing to grow my Flower Wheel Coaster into what will become The Flower Wheel Mandala Series. The first instalment of this is this Small Flower Wheel Coaster Square…. the long name is kind of on purpose as you will see as we go along. In the end there will be all sorts of ways to combine different squares creatively to make blankets, bags, cushion covers etc – in a way that suits you. I have made the squares in 3 different yarns: Drops Nepal (Aran weight) with a 5 mm hook, Drops Belle (DK weight) with a 4 mm hook and Scheepjes Catona (4-ply) with a 3 mm hook. The Aran one measures 8 inches /20 cm across, the DK one 6.4 inches /16 cm and the Catona one about 5 inches / 13 cm. Please note that Scheepjes Catona is thicker than some other 4-ply yarns, so if you use other 4-plys the squares might not be the same size.

Please remember that this is my design and my copyright. You’re most welcome to use the pattern for yourself, but please do not copy, reproduce or translate it and use it as your own. If you sell what you make or post pictures of your makes I would appreciate if you mention where you got the pattern and direct people to my site. Thanks!

To begin this Small Flower Wheel Coaster Square you have to complete the Flower Wheel Coaster (click the link to get to the pattern). Then you can proceed to square the circle following the instructions below. The pattern is given in both UK and US terms. There are no special stitches in this part of the pattern and you’ll have made a nice small square in just 3 rounds! The next instalment of the Flower Wheel Mandala Series will grow this.

The pattern uses standing stitches and invisible joins to start and finish off rounds. If you’re not already familiar with this technique there’s a blog post on my site here with the complete instructions. Other wise you can use turning chains and slip stitches to start and finish instead.

The finished squares are really very square, but anything can do with blocking to make sure they lie really flat and the sides are really straight.

I’m in the process of making enough squares of the Scheepjes Catona to make a cushion cover – I reckon it will take 9 + a border. I hope you enjoyed making the square and will follow the development of the Flower Wheel Mandala Series as we go along – the next instalment will be out soon! Please feel free to share the link to this page and to share your photos either on my Facebook Page or to tag me @saraphirdesigns and #smallflowerwheelcoastersquare on Instagram – I would love to see your version!

Developing all the patterns and publishing them for free takes a lot of time and effort. If you have appreciated the patterns I would appreciate if you would consider donating to help me be able to develop more patterns for free:

This wee set for a soon to be new baby is ready to be sent off. It’s my knitted Baby Pixie Hat and crochet Noella Baby Booties, both for 0-3 month old babies. You can find more info about both on my website. I’m loving these new shades of Drops Nepal from @dropsdesign - or maybe they’re not so new and it’s just been a while since I bought yarn! Anyway, I’m definitely looking forward to experimenting with some hat designs and colour combinations with them, they’re gorgeous. I love this photo of me at my stall at Corbenic Advent Fair taken by Carolin. It was right at the beginning of the market before things got really busy and I still had lots of stock. I’m already busy making more hat stock for next year and having fun experimenting with new patterns. This cosy set is now ready to go to its new home. It’s size 6-12 month babies and the patterns are my crochet Noella Baby Booties and my knitted Baby Pixie Hat. I love the yellow of course, apart from Eve rainbow combos I think this is the one combination that has attracted the most 💛! Corbenic Advent Fair was a big success for me, I had the best sales ever there. The @corbeniccamphillshop also bought all my remaining hat and bootie stock, so I have no hats or booties left to sell. I do still have snowflake sets left though and they are all in my Etsy shop now. I’ve been told they’re a bargain, but I like to keep my things affordable for everyone. They’re super easy to send as gifts as they’re light and flat, and they’re made from linen yarn, so quite eco friendly too. The clear bag they’re packaged in is biodegradable as well. Quite an ethical Christmas gift I’d say, and buying them supports a small independent business too. 😊please share! All set up at Corbenic Advent Fair. It’s a beautiful clear day, absolutely perfect for it! It can’t be a big surprise that this is one of my favourite sets I made for babies. It’s my crochet Noella Baby Booties and my knitted Baby Pixie Hat - apologies for mixing up the crafts, but I kind of prefer knitted hats (apart from the crochet berets I made for myself). The bootie pattern is in my Etsy shop and the hat pattern on my website. They’re both made with Drops Nepal from @dropsdesign. The set will be going with me to Corbenic Advent Fair on the weekend… right now there’s a veritable snowstorm happening in my flat every night! What is the collective noun for baby booties?? A pack, murder, parliament or a pride? Whichever fits the best, this lot is just waiting to have their shoelace fitted and then they’ll be ready for the Advent Fair at @corbeniccamphillcommunity on Saturday. I’m really looking forward to being back there! Here’s a selection of some knitted hats and crochet cowls and booties I’ll be bringing to Corbenic Advent fair next Saturday. Some of them will be on sale, so if you’re coming to the fair and see any you like come early!
