Oh those are adorable! I have copied the pattern and will work some into my schedule. Thanks for sharing the pattern.

A tip: I embroidered the features before I stuffed it and it was much easier for me.

These are darling. I'm overwhelmed right now, but I really want to make some.

I know the feeling. I made 18 and I have given most of the away. I made 2 larger ones and I kept 2 smaller to make a snowman family. If you make one you can probably do it in an hour. The embroidery and stuffing and closing them take more time than the crcoheting. Good luck! Everyone who has gotten one loved them.

Well I finished my snowmen and they are soooo cute, so decided to post a pic of them on my tree with a couple of items I crocheted. Going to make more for next year for sure!!

Anybody notice that they all look different? I think it is fun that they have their own personality with the embroidered features. I found this to be true of things I painted no two were identical. Guess shows that we are not machines.
