Snowman pattern

Does anyone know where I can find this pattern?

That snowman is very nice:)

Unfortunately I have no idea where you can find that pattern. Maybe someone here will be able to help you.

It looks like the picture came from a Russian (going by the name) person's Pinterest board.  I'm not a member of Pinterest so I can't see much before it blacks out.  If a pattern exists, it's probably from a European thread pattern magazine - they seem to have a lot more crochet publications in Europe than we have in the US.  I don't think you are going to find a free pattern like this.

 

If you are an intermediate to experienced crocheter and have made a few thread doilies (to be familiar with lace stitch patterns), you might be able to reverse-engineer it.

 

Here is a search on thread ornaments-this is overkill, you may want to refine the search (at the left of the screen) to availability=free, and a better search term than I could think of (at the top of the screeen).  'Ornament covers' only captures a few of the ball-shaped lace shapes.  You could also look at angel patterns, omit the halo and wings, and amend the skirt to a ball shape.

 

As an alternative, this pattern is kinda cute (I've made it), and could easily be turned into a snowman with a silver or white 'bottom' (although, it's not lacy).  You need to register for the site, but it's free, and has free Annie's Attic/DRG publication patterns.

By the way, if you have never made a hollow lace ball and stiffened it into shape - it's not easy (to get it to look nice).

Hi, have you thought of using a Victorian bauble pattern and just not finishing it off.  That way you could join the three different sizes together to form the basis.  Just add the finishing touches after that.  There are patterns available.  I have Vintage Crochet Keepsake Ornaments and Crochet Victorian Ornaments Collection No. 2.  Both have a variety of bauble sizes, unfortunately no Snowmen.  Just try looking up Vintage Christmas Crochet patterns and see where it gets you.  Hope this helps.

No. But been looking for a long time. If you find it please let me know. Thank you!!!

Thanks. I have every pattern book of victorian crochet ornaments. I love the 3D ornaments.  Been looking for something new.

This is an old post, and the OP hasn't replied since her original request in 2016.  

Meanwhile, this is not it, but is along similar lines.  The link is to buy the magazine it's in.

More links from the same designer as the one in the above magazine (none are free)

But, seriously, there are oodles of free thread round ornament covers that would be 99% of the pattern you need for the snowman.

Are those Snowman made to dry -up on Baloons.  Or they are made in 2 half's than connected together (after they are stiffener & dried) to get a ball?.

They are cute!

They're not free so I don't know for sure, interesting question.  I could see doing it in 1 piece, head down and leaving the underside open - which makes sense for it to stand up better, too.  (edited - to be clear, the underside of the head, and torso, would have to be open as well, so it's not 3 stacked independent spheres, but a stack of almost-spheres, the only closed end being the top of the head).  Put the first balloon in the head (or stuff it, since the head on the original photo is solid), put the next balloon in the torso, another balloon in the bottom--probably fiddly, but not impossible.   Since it's just a decoration and won't get handled much I might even stiffen the hat separately and Elmers-glue it on later.

I've only made one project this way (a thread pumpkin) but the bottom was closed, I wasn't 100% happy with how it turned out but now that I think about it, bottom open would have worked better.
