Winter is just around the corner. The temperature outside is starting to drop around here and before long, we may be seeing snow on the ground. I decided to get in the mood by starting to make some Snowman Christmas Ornaments.
These little snowman would also work for an applique as well. Just don’t add a hanging string and you can use it for something else.
How to assemble the Snowman after crocheting the pieces: (Patterns located below assembly instructions)
Step 1: Sew the head to the top of the body.
Step 2: Wrap the scarf around the neck of the snowman and sew in place.
Step 3: Sew the hat onto the head of the snowman.
Step 4: Sew knots for the eyes and nose of the snowman.
Step 5: Attach a string to the back of the snowman.
