Free Crochet Pattern: Mini Snowman Ornament

Christmas in July has become Christmas in August :) July got pretty busy over here so I am just getting around to sharing this Christmas ornament pattern (I actually have one more ornament pattern and a garland that are almost ready to share as well that I intended to post in July as well). In any event, I love this little snowman and hope you do too!

Materials needed:

• 3.50 MM crochet hook

• Stylecraft Special DK- White for the body, Spice for the nose, Green for scarf (also, pictured above Lime and Lipstick), Dark Brown or Walnut for arms, Black for eyes

• Poly-fil

• Tapestry needle for sewing in the ends

Gauge:

• Gauge isn't too important here. You can make this snowman with any size yarn and hook, your finished size will just be different.

Abbreviations:

• ch= chain

• sc= single crochet

• dc= double crochet

• sc2tog= single crochet 2 together

• MR= magic ring

• sl st= slip stitch

Finished size:

• Top of the the head to the bottom of the body= 2 1/4"

Body:

NOTE: You will work in the round for this whole snowman, do not join at all.

1: MR, ch 2, 6 sc in the ring, pull tight- 6

2: 2sc in each- 12

3: (2sc, sc) around- 18

4-6: Sc around- 18

7: (Sc2tog, sc)around- 12

Now you will add french knots for eyes. I cut about a 4.5" length of black yarn. Then added mine at row 5. I added the first eye, then counted over 2 sc then added the next eye. I tucked the ends into the head instead of cutting them.

Next, add the carrot nose. I cut a 9" length of Spice yarn. I started under the right eye and continued on a downward slant and then kept going back and forth until I had a full, carrot-shaped nose.

8: Sc2tog around- 6

9: 2 sc in each around- 12

10: (2 sc, sc) around- 18

Now stuff the head with Poly-fil

11-14: Sc around- 18

Now sew in the arms. I cut a 9" length of brown yarn. I began at round 9 on the side of the body and went down to round 13. Then I made the hands by starting at the arm line and going out to one side, then going back to the arm line and going out to the other side. Repeat on the other side of the body for the other arm.

15: (Sc2tog, sc) around- 12

Stuff the body with Poly-fil

16: Sc2tog around- 6

Bind off and use needle to sew the hole shut. Weave in ends.

Scarf:

NOTE: You will work back and forth for the scarf, NOT in rounds.

1: Leave a 4" tail, ch 23, sc in the 2nd from hook and each across- 22. Weave in the end you just took off your hook. Leave the beginning 4" tail, you will use this to secure the scarf to the snowman.

Wrap the scarf around the snowman's neck with the ends of it overlapping on one of the sides. Use the tail and go in and out of the snowman to secure the scarf into place then weave the tail end into the scarf.

Add string to hang the ornament. I cut an 8" length of yarn in the same color as the scarf.

Free Crochet Pattern: Emerson Car Seat Cover or Baby Blanket

I love the concept of car seat covers/canopies. When you use a regular blanket instead, it is always falling off and you are constantly picking it up off the ground. A car seat cover covers and protects your baby for cold weather, rain, snow, bright sun, you name it and it hooks on the handle bar so it ALWAYS stays in place! I absolutely love it and if you have a baby in an infant seat, you NEED to make one of these to see how great it is. PLEASE REMEMBER, it is dangerous to have your baby covered up in their car seat for long periods of time. This cover is NOT meant for that. This cover is only meant to be used when you are walking from your house to your car, store to car, school to car, and the like...it is meant to protect your baby from rain, snow, strong wind as you are walking from the places mentioned above. It is not meant to be left on the car seat when you are driving, sitting somewhere, going to a long walk or stroller ride, o...

Free Crochet Pattern: Valentine's Day Headbands

I made these adorable Valentine's headbands for my daughters. For three free crochet headband patterns and how I made them, see below! I saw the cutest heart headband floating around Pinterest and decided to make one for each of my daughters. The tutorial for the heart headband is here and the original heart pattern is here . But instead of using an elastic headband, I decided to use a crochet one. I made some of these last year for my girls to wear at Easter and they turned out well so I was excited to make more. Here are my hearts: For the red one, I used Vanna's Choice yarn in Scarlet with a K hook. For the darker pink, I used Red Heart Soft Baby Steps in Strawberry with an I hook. For the lighter pink, I used Vanna's Choice yarn in Pink with a G hook. All of the headbands begin the same way. If you are using 2 hair ties you have to join them together before you start joining the yarn onto the hair tie. If you are using one hair...

Free Crochet Pattern: The Greene Pom Pom Scarf

I have been working on fall/winter items for my kids lately. I came up with this scarf (there's a matching hat coming soon too!). I love the color block look. I showed my daughter yarn and asked her to pick out 2 colors and then I added the cream. I used Cascade Yarns Pacific here. I am loving this yarn lately. I have used it to make hats, blankets, amigurumi, you name it...it is quickly becoming one of my go to yarns. This scarf is super simple. I have written the pattern in 3 sizes but you can easily customize it to be any size you want. I use a pom-pom maker for my pom-poms but you can find a tutorial online if you don't have a pom-pom maker or if you want to make it without one. Materials needed: • U.S. I/9- 5.5 MM crochet hook • Cascade Yarns Pacific in 3 colors- used here: 37 Clover, 52 Geranium, 01 Cream (you can easily substitute any other yarn, your finished size may change though) • Tapestry n...
