Pattern Notes:
This pattern is written for 3 different sizes of snowmen. We’ve accessorized them in various outfits but feel free to mix and match. The snowmen patterns are written in rounds, without joins.
Measurements:
Large: 10.5in tall
Medium: 9in tall
Small: 7in tall
Materials:
- Crochet hooks:
- 8.0mm for Snowmen bodies
- 5.5 for accessories.
- 2 Balls of Baby Softee Chunky in Natural

- Here is an example but make sure you find the right size!
- Polyfil pellets: to weigh down each snowman base. I used ½ cup in each snowman but you can certainly use any doll weights that you have on hand. The goal is to weigh them enough so they will stand upright.

- Polyfil to plump up the snowmen
- Tapestry Needle
