Notes

Yarn Choice: Use a sturdy, medium-weight yarn for durability. Cotton yarn works well, as it’s easy to clean and holds its shape.

Hook Size: Choose the appropriate hook size for your yarn to achieve the desired stitch tension. A smaller hook can create a tighter fabric, which is ideal for tags.

Adaptable for Different Skill Levels: While these crochet snowman coasters are designed to be simple, the beauty of this pattern is its flexibility. Beginners can easily follow along, but more advanced crocheters can add their own spin—whether it’s creating custom snowman hats, adding tiny scarves, or even experimenting with different yarn colors for a unique look!

Instructions

Melted Snowman:

Round 1: Using white yarn, make a mr and make sc x6 in the circle. If you find it difficult making a magic ring you can chain 2 and then crochet sc x6 in the second chain from the hook. (6)

Round 2: Sc inc in every sc. (12)

Round 3: Inc, sc. Then repeat until the end of round (18).

Round 4: Inc, sc x2. Then repeat until the end of round (24).

Round 6: Inc, sc x4. Then repeat until the end of round (36).

Round 7: Inc, sc x5. Then repeat until the end of round (42).

Round 8: Now we are going to create the melty part of the snowman in this round.

Sc x4, sc inc, sc, hdc, dc inc, dc, hdc x2, dc x2, tr inc, tr, dc x2, hdc, dc, hdc, dc inc, dc, hdc, sc, sl st x 2, sc, hdc inc, hdc, sc x2, sl st x4, sc inc, sc, sl st x4, sc. Then fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.

Crochet Snowman Hat:

Row 1: With black, ch x5

Row 2: In the second ch from the hook, make a sc. Then continue making sc for the rest of the ch length (4). Then ch x1 and turn.

Row 3: Repeat row 2. Then fasten off the yarn. You should have a little square (4).

Row 4: Ch x2 and then reattach the yarn to the square where you left off and sc across the row, then ch x3 ( ch 2, 4 sc, ch 3)

Row 5: In the second ch from the hook, make a sc. Then continue making sc for the rest of the ch length (8). Then fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Weave in any additional ends.

Finishing:

First sew the hat to the top part of the snowman, this is where there are less drips and it's more flat.

Then, with the black yarn, embroider the eyes to round 4 and the buttons in round 3, 5, and 7.

Next, with the orange yarn, embroider the carrot nose in the 3rd round right of the center of the snowman.

Finally, With the brown yarn, embroider arms to each side of the snowman, starting in either round 4 or 5.

Once all the embroidery is completed and the tails have been woven into the back — your crochet snowman coaster is completed! The back will be a bit messy, but you can always add additional felt backing to the back of the coaster to make it tidy if you are concerned about it.

Otherwise you can always use puffy paint to paint on the embroidered details.
