Easy Crochet Snowman Hat Pattern
Let’s make our snowman! But this time, how about we make a crochet snowman crochet hat? I have always loved making beautiful dolls and animal characters, but I’m sure you all know I am not an Amigurumi expert.
So, I went with the closest I could get – A snowman hat. With this, I am so happy with the outcome. It looks so beautiful, and twining with my baby makes this fun!
Don’t you love that the small hat on top looks cute, like a pom? I bet I prefer this to a pom. I love that you do not need a Pom for this cute hat, and my son loves it.
There are two options for the beautiful Snowman beanie pattern. You can make yours with the earflaps or omit it.
Below is a picture from one of my testers.
I love the added buttons as eyes. I told you I suck at making dolls out of yarn. That’s why I skipped adding eyes to mine. However, I have included instructions on how to do that in the pattern. All of my testers added eyes, either with buttons or yarn. I would add buttons once I get a wide black button.
Color Choice – you can make yours in colors of your choice. I’ve used 3 different colors! But that should not stop you from going the extra length with Colors.
