Materials
To craft this beautiful snowflake coaster, you’ll need:
- Yarn: Sport-weight cotton yarn (or similar) in white (or any holiday-themed color of your choice). Cotton is ideal because it’s absorbent and sturdy.

- Scissors: For cutting yarn tails.
- Darning Needle: For weaving in ends.
- Optional: Blocking board and pins (to help shape the snowflake once completed).
