Aaron's mom has these little crocheted snowmen... one for each member of their family. I think they are so cute. I went online to find a pattern and didn't have much luck.
I found patterns for a snowman made out of a sock... a mitten... even lightbulbs.
I finally found this one... the accessories and faces aren't the same, but the body looks about right.
Did you ask her how she made hers?
ReplyDeleteShe didn't make them... I think it was one of the grandma's.
ReplyDeleteThere's a knitting pattern for snowmen in the Holiday Knits book by Allison Isaacs and Susan Lucas. I haven't tried it, but it doesn't look too hard.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make birds out of pompoms, which could easily be adapted into a snowman. She would just stick one pompom on top of the other then crochet a little hat for them. Then she would cut out felt eyes. Simple, easy and so cute!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried roxycraft.com? They have a crocheted snowman pattern in their Christmas Pattern Collection and it only costs $6.50. It also includes a cute elf and a Christmas ornament.
ReplyDeleteexcellent links thanks - I am bookmarking them for my sunday school class next year.
ReplyDeleteMy parents had those when I was a little girsl (more like Aaron's mom's, not the pattern) and I totally forgot about them until now! I'll have to ask if she has them packed away, and if I can have them. thanks for reminding me :)
ReplyDeleteI made some (if I don't say so) really cute sock snowmen two years ago. I have a couple of pics on my blog under my flikr craft photos.
ReplyDeleteUsing different sized socks, I made S,M and L snowmen. The kid socks came out the cutest - ending up with only two balls for the bodies.
I also found a pattern to loom knit snowmen on provocraft.com (linked off my blog)
I have the pattern for them. Give me till tomorrow and I will get it on the web and send it to you in email.
ReplyDeleteLeast I can do..I've used enough of your project pages. Will get it to you as soon as possible

i made snowmen that look just like those with the knifty knitter. Have you tried that? I can find you the pattern again if you'd like.
ReplyDeleteI just came across this pattern. It looks like your little snowmen.
