Living on different sides of the United States, Michaelene and I experience very different temperatures. She sends me screenshots of freezing temperatures in West Virginia while the sun is out in California. We’re not sure who has it better, but we do agree that yarn snowmen are cute! We had a couple of requests for a Snowman Kawaii Cuddler and this guy was born! We love his cozy scarf and earmuffs!
Below you will find instructions to crochet your very own Snowman. Enjoy our new free crochet pattern!
Have a blessed day!

Assembly
* Place safety eyes between Rows 26 & 27 from the bottom of Snowman roughly 12 stitches apart.
* Sew or glue Carrot Nose & Cheeks in desired locations.
* Sew or glue Large Scarf piece across the neckline of Snowman, below the Carrot & Cheeks.
* Sew or glue Small Scarf piece on top of large piece at an angle, giving the illusion that the scarf is wrapped around neck.
* Sew buttons below the Scarf on Snowman’s tummy.
* Use pink puff paint or embroidery floss to create desired mouth.
* Attach Ear Muffs to the sides of Snowman head. Before finishing, secure the Ear Muff strap across the top of Snowman’s head, tucking ends under Ear Muff pieces.
* Align Snowman halves so ends of rows match. SC around both pieces to join together. We stopped near the arms and re-started on the opposite side, sewing across the arms with a tapestry needle. Stuff with Poly-fil prior to completing stitching. Make sure you work in a counter-clockwise direction so your
stitches face forward.
