Adorable Crochet Snowman Pillow
It may be 95 degrees outside, but it’s never too early to prepare for Christmas. Making this crochet snowman pillow instantly puts me in a festive mood. You can start these projects now and have some done for Christmas- but they can also be used into January and February. These look like a lot of fun!
Your holiday decorating won’t be complete without this cozy crochet snowman pillow pattern. I’m envisioning a whole family of them sitting on my sofa. They would make a wonderful gift for everyone during the holiday season.
I’m participating in the Christmas in July Make Along with Underground Crafter. 31 crafty bloggers have gotten together to make the ultimate Holiday Make Along including crochet, knitting, sewing, and crafting projects. There’s something new to make every day in July. Each week will have a theme.
