Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the red yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the foundation for your coaster.

3. Round 2: Crochet 2 sc in each stitch around. You will have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: (1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch) repeat around. You will have 18 stitches after this round.
5. Round 4: (2 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch) repeat around. You will have 24 stitches.
6. Round 5: (3 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch) repeat around. You will have 30 stitches.
7. Round 6: (4 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch) repeat around. You will have 36 stitches.
8. Round 7: (5 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch) repeat around. You will have 42 stitches.
9. Switch to Green Yarn: Fasten off the red yarn and join the green yarn.
10. Round 8: Crochet 1 sc in each stitch around. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
11. Create the Ornament Cap: Using the gold yarn, chain 6 and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring.
12. Cap Round 1: Chain 1, then crochet 12 sc into the ring. Join with a sl st to complete the round. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
13. Attach the Cap: Sew the golden cap to the top of the red bauble coaster using the long tail you left from the cap.
14. Embroider Snowflakes: Using white yarn, embroider delicate snowflake patterns across the surface of the red bauble. You can create simple snowflakes by making small star shapes or using a French knot technique.
