✨ Notes Before You Begin

A few helpful tips (and a sprinkle of crochet wisdom) to make your coasters extra pretty and long-lasting! 💖

🧵 Yarn Choice: Cotton yarn is your best friend for coasters — it’s absorbent, durable, and easy to wash. Plus, it keeps its shape beautifully after each use.

🪡 Hook Size: Stick to the recommended hook (4.5 mm here) to get that perfect tension. It helps your snowflake stay flat and crisp.

🌸 Stitch Tension: Try to keep your tension consistent — not too tight, not too loose. Like snowflakes, balance makes it perfect!

🌬️ Blocking: Once you finish, block your coaster gently with a damp cloth to make it perfectly flat and enhance the shape. It’s a small step that makes a big difference! ✨


💙 Let’s Start Crocheting!

Now comes the fun part — creating your snowflake! ☃️ We’ll work in rounds, building the pattern layer by layer. Get comfy, play your favorite winter playlist, and let’s begin! 🎶❄️


🌟 Round 1

Start by making a magic ring (mr) and chaining 2 inside it. Then crochet 12 double crochets (dc) into the ring. When you’re done, slip stitch (sl st) into the first double crochet to close the round.
🧵 You now have 12 stitches — the soft center of your snowflake!


🌟 Round 2

Chain 2, and make a dc increase (2 dc in each stitch) around the circle. When finished, slip stitch to the first dc of the round.
💙 You should have 24 stitches now — your snowflake is growing!


🌟 Round 3

Now the magic begins! ✨
Make:

  • 1 sc, 1 hdc, and then in the next stitch, crochet (dc + ch 4 + dc) — this creates that gentle snowflake curve.
  • In the next stitch, make 1 hdc again.

Repeat this sequence all around the circle. The last stitch of the round should be a hdc. Then slip stitch to the first single crochet to close the round.

❄️ Your snowflake is starting to bloom — how pretty is that?!


🌟 Round 4

This is where the snowflake spikes appear — it’s detailed but super fun! 💫

  • Sc in the first 2 stitches.
  • In the chain space from Round 3, make a sc and ch 6.
  • Slip stitch into the first chain you made after that sc — this forms a tiny picot tip.
  • Crochet back into the chain space: hdc, dc.
  • Now chain 6, slip stitch into the 5th chain from the hook.
  • Chain 5, slip stitch again into the 5th chain.
  • Repeat this one more time for a triple-loop tip! 🌸
  • Slip stitch into the very first chain from the initial chain of 6. You should see 3 tiny loops at the top of your spike.
  • Then make dc, hdc back down the chain space from the last round.
  • Chain 6 again, and slip stitch into the 6th chain.
  • Add one more sc in the same space.

Now, sc in the next 5 stitches to reach the next chain space from Round 3 — and repeat the entire snowflake spike process! 🌟

After the last spike, make a few sc stitches to smooth the round, then fasten off and weave in your ends.


🎀 Finishing Touches

And there you have it — your beautiful crochet snowflake coaster is ready to shine! ❄️💙

You can block it gently to perfect its shape — and if you’d like, sprinkle a bit of shimmer yarn or metallic thread for that frosty sparkle! ✨

These coasters look gorgeous on winter tables, under mugs of hot cocoa, or even as gift toppers. You can tie them together with a satin ribbon for a handmade holiday set — a gift full of warmth and smiles! 🎁☕


💫 A Little Inspiration

Crochet a few in different shades — pale blue, ivory, silver — and watch your table glow with winter elegance! They make beautiful decorations, tree ornaments, or even a garland if you string them together.

Each snowflake will be unique, just like in nature. And each one you make will carry that cozy handmade joy you put into every stitch! 💕

So brew your favorite tea, grab your hook, and let the snowflakes fall — one stitch at a time! 🧶❄️😊
