I absolutely love snowmen. I also love that they’re a decoration you could leave up all winter. My crocheted Christmas tree really needed to have a snowman on it, so I worked up this quick little snowman to hang on there.

This pattern is so fast to make, and it doesn’t use much yarn at all.

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:

Any worsted weight yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver.

G (4mm) crochet hook

Poly-fil

Yarn needle

Ribbon

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