snowman afghan idea

My husband's grandmother made up her own snowman
afghan pattern. She started with a simple, all double
crochet afghan with big (maybe 8"x10") color
blocks separated by bands of white.
Atop each color block, she sewed three white
circles, crocheted separately, to form snowmen.
Facial features were added via embroidery, and
she tied satin ribbon around the "necks" for
bow ties. This was her gift to her first
great-grandchild.

Unfortunately, that baby wasn't mine, so I don't
have the afghan to tell you exact dimensions or
number of stitches.

Or try this...stop by a school or office supply
and pick up some graph paper. Draw your snowman
design. Each square then represents either one
single crochet or a filet crochet square. Have
fun with this!
