Stitches Used
For this pattern, you will need to know how to chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, and half double crochet, and slip stitch.
Yarn and Hook Info
For these snowman coasters, we used #4 worsted and #3 light acrylic yarn.
Although the recommended hook size for the #4 worsted yarn is 5mm (H/8), we chose to go down a hook size for a tighter stitch, resulting in a better overall look for the coaster.
You could also use cotton yarn, other blends, or a different yarn weight with an appropriate hook size.
If you choose a heavier yarn like #5 chunky or a lighter yarn like #3, your coasters will turn out larger or smaller, respectively.

#4 medium (worsted, Afgan, Aran, 10 ply) 100% acrylic yarn, with 11 WPI (wraps per inch)
- Color A, white (snowman head) - 9.8 yards (9 meters)

#3 Light (also known as light worsted, DK, or 8ply) yarn weight, with 12 WPI (wraps per inch)
- Color C, black (eyes) - 1 yards (1 meters)
