Free pattern

 With Christmas coming and everyone putting up their tree, I figured it would be a good time to post my snowman ornament.

*This pattern has not been tested. I sent it to a couple of people to test if for me but never heard back from them. Anyway if you find any mistakes please don't hesitate to let me know. And I'd love to see a picture of your finished ornament.

Embellish hat as desired attach to head, I used hot glue.
Glue eyes (two buttons) and nose to head.
For the nose I just used a piece of felt rolled to look like a carrot or you could use an orange button. For the mouth I used black puffy paint or you could stitch a mouth using black embroidery thread. And for the scarf I glued a piece of fabric to the bottom - that was ½ wide x 8 inches long.

  1. Hi Jen,
    So glad you stopped by my blog.
    Your snowman pattern is adorable. I may give it try when I finish these dishcloths that I am working on.
