Second in my line of ugly Christmas socks… Snowman Socks!

This 3 dimensional pattern is available in children’s sizes, all the way through to adults! It uses primarily increases and decreases to create its shape, along with a few other tricks.

These snowmen are knit cuff down, and perfect for their ability to be worn with little to no blocking necessary. This sock pattern works up fairly quickly without too much difficulty. The sock has a heel flap heel, which could be easily substituted if desired.

These socks are fully wearable in shoes!

The children’s sizes and adult sizes are in two separate PDFs, so that the size differentiations can be as clear as possible.

Gauge for this pattern is not crucial, and some minor variation can be allowed.

Though the main color should be had in the quantity listed, scrap quantities are almost definitely sufficient for the scarves and noses.
