Snowman Ornament Crochet Pattern July Ornament of The Month By Sara Sach

Snowman Ornament Crochet Pattern 
July Ornament of The Month
By Sara Sach Crochet


The Snowman Ornament is The Start
for Our Christmas In July Celebration!
and Also Our July Ornament of The Month
for a Crochet Along


The snowman is our theme for this year,
 because everyone loves snowmen.
I designed this simple little snowman that 
everyone can stitch up whether you are a beginner 
or an expert crocheter. 
It is just so fun to crochet a little snowman!


You can choose your colors for the hat and scarf.
Make one for everyone, use Christmas colors or 
their favorite colors.
Give them as gifts and use them as gift tags.

Make a bunch up and decorate your house.
Once you stitch one up you will not
 want to stop making them. They are just 
so easy and adorable.


They are so cute they make me giggle.
Have fun giving them different face expressions,
and personalities.
