Cute Snowman-Crochet Project

Every year I bring my snowmen out in January, they are cheerful and add a bit of fun to winter. As soon as I started playing with crocheting I knew I wanted to make one for my collection and I think he turned out pretty darn cute! He's about 5" tall and very loosely based upon this pattern HERE. I say very loosely because of my apparent inability to follow directions and I used cotton yarn instead of thread.

I used a white chenille pipe cleaner for his nose and just ran an orange highlighter over it. The heart sequin will be changed out for a button as soon as I get to a craft store, it's a wink and nod to Valentine's Day. While I did have small black buttons I could have used for eyes, the googly eyes just make me smile:@) This was a fun little project that even a novice like me could complete in a few hours. I'll look around the yard for a couple small twigs that might work as arms, that could be fun too.
I got this little guy done just in time for a dusting of real snow!

Have a happy day:@)
