Christmas bauble snowmen - Holiday decoration - crochet pattern snowman

These snowmen are made by crocheting 2 or 3 baubles and stacking them.
After crocheting a bauble you have to insert a balloon, blow it up and then put the bauble in starch (e.g. sugar water)
When they have completely stiffened, we glue all the Christmas balls together and glue a nose and hat on them.

But if you just want the baubles, you can make 3 different sizes and use them as decoration for the holidays.

This crochet pattern is available in English (with American and English crochet terms) and in Dutch!
