Materials Needed

Instructions
Step 1: Make the First Leaf
1 Start with a magic ring (or CH 4, SL ST into first CH to form a ring).
2 CH 3 (counts as first DC), then work 2 DC into the ring.
3 CH 2, then SL ST into the ring to complete the first leaf.
Step 2: Create Three More Leaves
Repeat the following steps three more times in the same magic ring:
1 CH 3, 2 DC, CH 2, SL ST into the ring.
At this point, you should have four leaf sections forming a clover shape.
Step 3: Make the Stem (Optional)
1 CH 8 (or desired length for the stem).
2 Work 1 SC into the second chain from the hook, then work SC back up the chain to the base of the clover.
3 SL ST into the ring to secure, then fasten off and weave in ends.
Finishing Touches
• Block your coaster by lightly steaming it or pressing it flat with a damp cloth to enhance the shape.
• Consider crocheting multiple coasters in different shades of green for variety!
Enjoy your new lucky four-leaf clover coaster—perfect for a festive tea time or as a thoughtful handmade gift.
