Easy Crochet Showman Pattern

I am so pleased to introduce you to Simon the Snowman- he’s a very happy chap, and dresses in a dapper way wearing his snowman top hat and a scarf to keep him toasty without melting.

This crochet snowman is started by working the head and body in one piece before adding on this hat, arms, scarf and carrot nose. The simple style of the pattern makes this a beginner friendly pattern that can be completed in next to no time. Scroll down to find the video tutorial to help you complete your project with confidence.

Recommended Material

The pattern was written to be made in Size 4/Aran weight yarn and I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran. The finished size of the snowman can be easily adjusted simply by adjusting the weight of yarn you are using and using the corresponding hook.

One of my testers used 2 strands of chunky/size 5 yarn to create a 15″ tall Simon the Snowman and he was simply gorgeous and extra squishy too!
