Row 5: Make a sc in the second ch from the hook. Then make 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 on each side of the snowman, starting in either round 4 or 5.
Now it looks very pretty.
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.
Expert Tips:
- Consider Adding a Backing for Extra Stability: If you’re looking for a more durable coaster that can hold up to both hot and cold drinks, add a fabric or felt backing to your crochet coasters. Simply cut out a circle of felt or fabric slightly larger than the coaster and sew it to the back using a whip stitch or fabric glue.
- Sewing on Attachments: If you plan to attach tinier items like a small scarf or mittens to the snowman, ensure that the attachment points are secure and won’t come undone easily.
- Finishing Touches: Don’t forget to weave in any loose ends carefully to keep your crochet snowman coasters looking neat and polished.
