Crochet snowman applique is part of our Christmas crochet blanket! Easy and fun to make you can use the applique not only for the blanket but you may sew it on a hat, a gift card, or a scarf.
When I design an applique I try to keep the pattern simple. And when I say simple I mean easy basic crochet stitches, so more of you will be able to make them. This pattern is no different. The only confusing part might be that we will work half of the circle in white color and the other one in blue. You can carry on the yarn or not, it is not important as we will sew the applique on the blanket later and the back side will not be visible. Yay, no need to weave ends in!
