With just a few basic crochet techniques, you can create a whimsical snowman that will bring joy and warmth to your home. So grab your yarn and crochet hook, and get ready to bring the magic of winter to life with your very own crocheted snowman!
Supplies Needed:
-4.5mm crochet hook
-Yarn needle
-Scissors
-Red Heart Super Saver yarn in the colors white, black, orange, and red
- polyester fiberfill stuffing
-12mm black safety eyes, or whatever size and color you prefer
-blush for the cheeks
-cardboard
-small bag of river rocks (can be found at craft stores)
Abbreviations Used (American Terms):
Sc= single crochet
Ch= chain
SlSt= slip stitch
Dec: decrease
Hdc= half double crochet
MC= magic circle
BLO= back loop only
Inc= increase
Pc= popcorn (make 5 hdcs in the same stitch. Remove hook, and place it in the 1st hdc. Grab the open loop where you removed your hook, and pull through.)
I always prefer to start projects worked in the round with a magic circle. If you do not prefer this method, simply chain 2, and start working in the 2nd chain from the hook.
