Originally designed to go with my fashion doll christmas sweater, this frosty snowman appliqué would be fun to add to your favourite miniature Christmas projects.
This mini snowman is approximately 1⅜” (3 cm) wide. Use an alternative hook or yarn weight to make him bigger.
This appliqué is worked in 4 pieces, which are later sewn together.
