About

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.
