Skill Level: Beginner – Intermediate. The snowman pattern is worked in the rounds, but starting with the oval base that needs a slip knot beginning, chain stitch, and increase. The body pattern also needs to decrease to switch from body to head, slip stitch, and turning chains. For the Santa hat, you will also be using the color changes and an increasing cone pattern.
Crochet the cheeks as a basic crochet circle, starting with the magic ring. The pom pom can be glued, and the arms and hat will be sewn. Using chains, also crochet a small string to use as a bag charm.
Tutorial Timing: 27 minutes only (perfect for learning the popular oval base that is used in projects like crochet candy corn, watermelon slice, and many more. Plus, the crochet Santa hat can be adapted to the larger wearable sizes very easily. The seamless sewing and making a perfect knot for the hanging string, there is much more to learn.

Personalization Tips: You can also crochet the carrot using a similar cone pattern as the Santa hat as the nose of this snowman Christmas ornament.
