Happy Holidays!!

 

I know, I know...there are PLENTY of snowmen patterns out there!

 

Here is another!

I made up 20 of these little guys for my youngest daughters classroom.

The big one, is RoxyCrafts snowman...just the first 2 balls. (I didnt make all 3 body parts)

 

Each child in Addies class room got a snowman, and a candy cane, packaged in a cute snowman treat bag. The teacher got the biggest snowman!

The kids really liked them!

 

They work up quick. Each took me about 25-30 minutes.

Enjoy!

 

(pattern has not been tested, please let me know if you find any errors! Thanks!)

How cute! How tall are yours? Can you give me the link to RoxyCrafts? (if it's free). I want like a 12" snowman.

 

Good Morning

 

http://www.roxycraft.com is her site.. The snowman pattern is part of one of the pattern sets she sells.

She has quite a few free patterns as well!

 

My little snowmen work up to be about 4 inches tall.

 

I am trying to get another 6 done in between Christmas Christmas celebrations for gifts for my nieces!

 

 

 

 

Thank you all for the compliments!!

These are sooo cute!!! I love them so much!!! I'm working on my first one right now and everything is working for me except the ribbing on the hat. I'm most likely just not reading it right but something doesn't seem to work. If you could try to explain it better that would be very greatly appreciated! I love these guys and if everything works out I'm gonna make a snowman village!!! Thanks for the pattern!!!

I made one a few months ago. Great pattern and came out great. I wanted it a little bigger so just added some rounds to the body. And since I was making it just for me, I cheated on the hat and instead used the toe section of a baby/toddler sock to make a hat - looks cute.

Thank you so much for all your patterns. These little guys got me to crocheting again!

 

Of course, I really should have got the beads for eyes. :lol

Now they're my snowman mafia! My daughter's friend said they look mean. :D
