Making Process:
- Panels (make 2): Start with a chain of 8 in white yarn, and follow the pattern increasing and decreasing at specified intervals to create the snowman's body. Each row adds to the shape, ending with a decrease to finish the panel.
- Hat (make 1): Using black yarn, begin with a chain of 19 and follow the round pattern to create the hat, increasing in specified rounds to shape it. You can add holly embellishment or other decorations as desired.
- Scarf (make 1): With red yarn, chain 7 and then half-double crochet in each stitch back and forth, creating a long strip to wrap around the snowman as a scarf.
- Nose (make 1): Chain 4 in pumpkin (orange) yarn, then slip stitch in the first chain, single crochet in the next, and double crochet in the last to form a triangle. Fold and stitch it to create the nose.
- Assembly: Attach safety eyes between certain rows of the front panel, then stitch the nose in place. Use the black thread to add eyebrow details. Single crochet around the edge of two panels, stuffing before completely sealed. Finally, attach the hat and scarf, adding any embellishments as wished.
- Finishing Touches: Stitch the scarf ends together and secure around the snowman’s neck. Adjust the hat so it sits slightly askew for a whimsical look. You can add a hanging loop to the top of the hat for display.
This summarized pattern simplifies the creation of a crochet snowman ornament, offering a delightful project for crocheters looking to add a touch of handmade charm to their holiday decor.
