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.

Summer Morning Hot Pad / Pot Holder Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach Crochet

 Summer Morning Hot Pad / Pot Holder 
Crochet Pattern


The Summer Morning Hot Pad / Pot Holder
 is designed to match
 The Summer Morning Washcloth/ Dishcloth.

You Can Find The Crochet Pattern 
For The Washcloth at This LINK

You can stitch them up to match as a nice set 
to give as a gift, or make some for yourself.

The crochet patterns are similar, but not exactly 
the same. I wanted the pattern for the hot
 pad to be more dense and less holely
 as not to burn your fingers or surface.
We did however use the same yarns and colors.
So they will match nicely.

I really love how the set turned out and hope
 you do, as well.


The hot pad measures about eight inches 
which is a nice size for holding hot pans
 or setting hot dishes on. It is 2 layers thick 
to make it safe from burning your
 hands or surface.

 Channel At This LINK
