Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in the following colors:
• Carrot orange
• Frosty white
• Deep green
• Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
• Pompom maker (optional) for adding a pom-pom at the tip

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:

   Begin by creating a magic ring using the carrot orange yarn. This will serve as the base of your cozy.

2. Round 1:

   Inside the magic ring, work 6 single crochets (sc). Pull the tail of the ring to close it tightly.

3. Round 2:

   Increase in each stitch around by working 2 single crochets in each of the 6 stitches from Round 1. You should have a total of 12 stitches.

4. Round 3:

   Work *1 sc in the next stitch, then 2 sc in the following stitch*. Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.

5. Round 4:

   Work *1 sc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 sc in the following stitch*. Repeat this pattern around. You should have 24 stitches now.

6. Continue Increasing:

   Continue this pattern of increasing the number of single crochets between increases by one each round until the cozy comfortably fits the desired size of your snowman's carrot nose. This will create a tapered shape.

7. Switch Colors:

   Once you have reached the desired size, switch to the frosty white yarn. Work 3 rounds of single crochet without any increases. This will create a nice band around the cozy.

8. Change to Deep Green:

   Next, switch to the deep green yarn and work 2 rounds of single crochet. This will form the cozy's edge.

9. Finish Off:

   Once you have completed the 2 rounds in deep green, fasten off your yarn and cut it, leaving a long enough tail to weave in later.

10. Weave in Ends:

    Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends to secure your work and give it a neat finish.

11. Add a Pom-Pom:

    For a whimsical touch, create a small pom-pom using the frosty white yarn and attach it to the tip of the cozy.
