It’s November, and I’m waiting for the snow to hit. In the meantime, I decided to build my own snowman from the comfort of my couch. This snowman is about 9 inches tall and is perfect for cuddling or displaying on a shelf for your winter decor. This pattern is worked in both loops, and should work for both left-handed and right-handed crocheters.

If you want a pattern that you can save on your computer and easily print, this pattern is available in my Ravelry shop for only $2.00. I love printing patterns and saving them in a binder to keep track of the ones I’ve done and the ones I still plan to do.

Abbreviations:

ch: chain

sc: single crochet

sl st: slip stitch

inc: increase (2 single crochets in one loop)

dec: decrease (pull yarn through loop, pull yarn through second loop, yarn over and pull through all loops)

Materials needed (with affiliate links):

5.25 MM (I) crochet hook

Red Heart yarns in soft white, red, and green

12mm safety eyes

Black embroidery thread

Yarn needle

This pattern is worked “in-the-round”, and stitches are worked through both loops unless otherwise noted.

Make pom-pom and attach to top of hat. Stuff the head of the snowman, then pull the hat on. You can sew the hat on, or do like I did and just attach it in a few places to hold it on. Once the hat is on, position the eyes and sew on the mouth. Sew the head to the body, then wrap the scarf around the neck and tie it on. I created my own army of snowmen, in many different colors.
