He is small, friendly and done super quickly with this crochet pattern – your next little snowman. You can use him as cheeky Christmas decoration for your Christmas tree or as individual gift tag. As he is so small you can even put him into the advent calendar of your kids giving it a very personal touch. But enough with ideas how to use him, let’s start to work on your sweet snowman:
Abbreviations:
bpsc – back past single crochet
ch – chain
dec – decrease
inc – increase
sc – single crochet
sl – sling stitch
You’ll need:
Less than half a skein of white yarn
bits and pieces in orang, grey, a clour of your choice for the scarf and black
Crochet hook, which is slightly too small for your yarn (I use 2,5 when 3,5 is recommended)
Soft filling
Scissors, needle and everything you need to have a cozy crochet (for my part, it certainly would be a caramel macchiato)
