Well Hello to all of you!  Christmas season is already upon us.  We have a new grand baby this year and I know he is going to be spoiled rotten for Christmas.  I decided that this year I was going to make crochet snowman gift tags for his gifts.  I think it is a really cute idea to make his gifts stand out from everyone else’s.  I don’t think he will really know what is going on because he will only be about 6 months old but I still want his gifts to be really special.  I think this snowman gift tag will do just that.  

This Snowman Gift Tag would also be really cute as a Christmas ornament for you tree or you could even string them together for a really cute garland to hang over your fireplace or along your banister.  

Here are a few things you need to know before starting your crochet snowman gift tag.  

Pattern written in US terms.

Difficulty:  Easy, beginner friendly

Abbreviations:  CH (chain), SC (single crochet), DC (double crochet), SLST (slip stitch), MC (magic circle)

Note:  You can use ribbon for the scarf if you prefer not to crochet a scarf for your snowman gift tag.  Decorative ribbon would be really cute.  I also recommend using a hot glue gun to attach the eyes to your snowman gift tag.  The eyes are pretty small and can be a little fiddly to attach with a yarn needle.

Here are the items you will need to make this crochet snowman gift tag

Yarn:  Any #4 worsted weight yarn will do.  I used red heart super saver in the colors black, orange, hunter green, and white.  You will need small amounts of all of these colors.  

Crochet hook:  5mm and 2.5mm.  You will need the 5mm crochet hook for the body and the scarf.  The 2.5mm hook is for the eyes.

Yarn needle:  Any yarn needle you have on hand will work.  Just make sure the eye is large enough to fit your yarn through it.  I like using metal yarn needles.  I feel like they weave through the yarn much easier than the plastic ones do.

Scissors:  Any pair of scissors you have on hand will do.  I like using the smaller craft scissors because I can tuck them away in my crochet hook bag.  

Optional supplies:  hot glue gun and glue sticks, ribbon, and/or beads.

Now let’s get started on this cute crochet snowman gift tag!

For the body (make 2) 

Round 1:  Using your 5mm crochet hook and your white yarn, Create a MC (magic circle), place 10 SC (single crochet) in your magic circle.  Pull your tail tight to close up the circle.  SLST (slip stitch) to the top of the first SC and CH (chain) 1.  At the end of round 1 you should have 10 stitches.

Round 2:  For round 2 place 2 SC in the CH 1 space, and 2 SC in each stitch all the way around.  SLST to the top of the very first SC and CH 1.  At the end of round 2 you should have 20 stitches.

Round 3:  SC in the CH 1 space, place 2 SC in the next stitch.  Repeat the pattern of *1 SC, 2 SC* all the way around.  SLST to the top of the first SC and fasten off.  At this point you can go ahead and weave in your yarn tails.  At the end of round 3 you should have 30 stitches.  

For the snowman scarf

With your green yarn (or what ever color you choose to use for the scarf) CH 32.  DC (double crochet) in the 3rd CH from your hook, DC in each CH all the way to the end.  Fasten off and weave in your yarn tails.

For the eyes (make 2):  

With your 2.5mm crochet hook and your black yarn (you could also use black buttons and hot glue into place), create a MC.  Place 4 SC inside the MC.  Pull your tail tight to close and SLST to the top of the first MC.  Fasten off and weave in yarn tails.  

Putting it all together!

Step 1:  Lay your 2 snowman bodies on top of each other with the right sides facing out.  You are going to stitch about 5 stitches together to attach the 2 circles to one another.  I like to insert my crochet hook in the back loop on one circle and the front loop of the other circle and attach my yarn.  SC in 5 stitches attaching both together. Do not fasten off. We are going to continue to work around our snowman.  

Step 2:  Once your 2 circles are attached together you will SC along the edge of the snowman until you come to the center of the top portion.  CH 6, place a SC in the next stitch (this just created your loop) and in each stitch all the way back around to where you started.  SLST to the top of the first SC and fasten off.  Weave in any yarn tails.

Step 3:  Grab your crochet snowman scarf.  Lay your snowman on top of the scarf at the neck (or the area where the 2 bodies meet), position your scarf the way you want it and either attach with green yarn or use a hot glue gun to attach to your snowman.  

Step 4:  Grab your cute little snowman eyes and your hot glue gun.  Attach the eyes where you would like them to be on the snowman face.  Note:  If you want you could make 3 more of these and create cute little buttons. You could also use buttons for the eyes and the coal going down the belly if you wanted.

Step 5:  With your yarn needle and your scrap orange yarn, insert your hook just off to the right and down below your left snowman eye.  Create a longer line that slants downward toward the right eye.  This is your carrot nose.  I like to go over this 2 times to make it stand out a little better.  You can now tie your two orange pieces in a knot on the back and weave in your orange yarn tails.  

That is it.  I think that this cute little crochet snowman gift tag will be the perfect addition to any of your gifts this year.
