Crochet Project - Snowman With Hat And Scarf Pattern


Here are the instructions on how you can make your very own crochet snowman for the holidays. This pattern was given to me by my aunt about 3 years ago. I am not sure of the original source since she photo-copied it for me. I lost the black crochet hat pattern over the years so you will have to make your own or buy one of those inexpensive felt ones at the craft supply store.

Rnd 19: SC decrease twice, 8 SC around arm, SC decrease 4 times across the front, 8 SC around the arm, SC decrease twice (24 SC)

Stuff the arms and body with poly-fill stuffing. I stuffed mine firmly.

Rnd 20: (SC, SC decrease) repeat around (16 SC)
Rnd 21: SC decrease around (8 SC)

Do not fasten off. Add a little bit more stuffing into the neck area.

Head (make 1)

Rnd 1: SC in each st (8 SC)
Rnd 2: 2 SC in each st (16 SC)
Rnd 3: (SC, 2 SC in next st) repeat around (24 SC)

Rnd 9: (SC, SC decrease) repeat around (16 SC)
Rnd 10: SC decrease around (8 SC)
Rnd 11: SC decrease around (4 SC)

Slant stitch in next st, end off leaving a 8" long yarn tail. Using poly-fill, stuff the head firmly. Using the yarn tail and a tapestry needle, gather up the opening and sew shut using the yarn. Fasten off and thread in the yarn end so that it can't be seen.

How To Make The Scarf

Using a size F crochet hook, chain 50 stitches. SC in the second chain from the hook and in every chain across. Fasten off and thread in your end so it can't be seen. Tie your scarf around the snowman's neck. (I used red yarn with silver sparkles)

If anyone comes across the original pattern maker, please let me know so I can give them the proper credit for the pattern. Thanks!
