The Melted Snowman pattern can be a winter themed decoration -- simply display him on a table top. He can be a holiday gift or hostess gift. Or he could be a child’s lovey! But please note that if you do decide to make a child’s lovey, that you use safety eyes or embroidery instead of the buttons shown on the example.

This project uses only easy stitches: single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet. The trim on the hat is worked in the Crab Stitch or Reverse Single Crochet, however, if this stitch is too complicated, I’ve suggested to simply slip stitch around the border, which would make the hat match the mittens anyway.

The body of the snowman is crocheted using size 6 super bulky weight yarn and an N (10 mm) crochet hook. The accessories are all worked up in Red Heart Super Saver with an H/8 (5.00 mm) crochet hook, but any worsted weight yarn will work. There is also some light sewing involved in this project if you choose to use buttons as in the example.
