Dear All,
In this post, let's crochet "The Snowman" together.
Our project will be used as not only an ornament but also a coaster for our Christmas tea or coffee :)

MATERIALS

Crochet hook 2,5 mm.
Yarn 
Yarn needle
Scissors

ABBREVIATIONS

st(s) = stitch (es)
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
hdc = half double crochet
sl st = slip stitch
FLO = front loop only
BLO = back loop only

METHOD

** We will work in joined rounds for the head. (Both the back side and the front side)
There are different methods for working in joined rounds. My method is:
I begin every round with ch 2 (does not count as dc) and continue crocheting according to the pattern, and at the end of the round,  join the  to the first dc stitch with a slip - stitch (does not count as a stitch). And again I begin the new round with ch 2 (does not count as dc) and continue crocheting by making my first dc in the same stitch as the sl-st join.
Let's see some examples.
Round 1: Magic ring and 12 dc into it. 
We will make a magic ring, ch 2 (does not count as dc), crochet 12 dc in the ring, and sl-st to the first dc.

Round 2: 2 dc in each st around (24 sts)
Ch 2 at the beginning of the round (does not count as dc), crochet 2 dc in the same stitch as the sl-st join (which means 2 dc in the first dc of the previous round), and continue crocheting 2 dc in each st around and at the end sl-st to the first dc.

Round 3: (dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) repeat 12 times (36 sts)
Ch 2 at the beginning of the round (does not count as dc), crochet 1 dc in the same stitch as the sl-st join (which means 1 dc in the first dc of the previous round), then crochet 2 dc in the next st and continue crocheting according to the pattern till the end of the round, and at the end sl-st to the first dc.


** And we will work in rows for the hat and the scarf.

We will use 3 colors for the joining round.

THE TASSELS OF THE SCARF

I used some piece of red and white yarn and attached them at the left side of the scarf.

THE FACE

And finally you can embroider the face as you wish.
My Snowman's eyes are on the 4th round with a width of 3 stitches. :) 
My Snowman's mouth is between the 4th and the 5th rounds.

And here comes our Snowman. 
I hope you have enjoyed crocheting with Lovely Lila Dolls.  :)

How To Decrease One Single Crochet ( Invisible Decrease )

How To Decrease One Single Crochet ( Invisible Decrease ) While crocheting, you need to change the number of the stitches in order to give your project the proper shape. This tutorial is about decreasing the number of stitches. To decrease one single crochet (sc), we join two single crochet stitches together and make them become one stitch. By this way you will have 1 stitch, instead of 2 stitches.  There are two ways for decreasing one single crochet. - Normal / Regular Decrease   - Invisible Decrease In this tutorial I am going to show you the invisible decrease method which I use in all my amigurumi projects. With this method, "decreased stitches" are nearly unnoticeable and the surface of the finished project looks smoother. Let's make "one single crochet decrease" together. :) If you prefer a video tutorial, please  click here.

This tutorial is about working in continuous / spiral rounds. I will also show you how to make a single crochet in a single crochet (sc) stitch. While working in continuous / spiral rounds, we keep crocheting round and round continuously. We don't join the end and the beginning of the rounds.
