It’s Day 12 of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas!
If you’re crocheting along and haven’t done so already, you’ll want to whip up an easy crochet gift tag to attach your applique to.
About the Pattern
This crochet snowman applique pattern consists of 2 parts, the head and body. Both parts are worked in the round starting with a magic ring and are sewn together to create our snowman.
I kept the details simple with a bow and a couple of French knots for buttons.

Finished Size
The finished applique measures approximately 1.5″ x 1″ (4cm x 2.5cm). Size may vary depending on tension and materials used.
Gauge
Gauge is not important in this pattern. However, using a different yarn and hook size will change the size of the finished item.
Notes
- The snowman is worked in joined rounds. The chain at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch. Work the first stitch of the next round in the same stitch as joining.
