This jolly fellow would be great hanging on the front door to welcome friends, or just as a decorative wall hanging in the home. The Snowman Wall Hanging is an easy crochet pattern that helps you create your own flat snowman motif. You'll be working with multiple colors, both within the same piece and for separate pieces to sew together at the end, so if you're worried about color changes, don't be - this is an easy enough pattern to practice on. Hang this friendly crochet snowman on your front door or anywhere in your home to add a little bit of extra holiday cheer to your home this season.

NotesNotes:
-If a round or row has a beginning chain, it does not count as a stitch.
-Unless directed otherwise, rounds are worked in a spiral; use a stitch marker to track the first stitch of each round.

The increases on the next two rounds are staggered to give the circle a more rounded shape.
Round 14: Sc in first 4 sts, *make 2 sc in next st, sc in next 12 sts*, repeat between * around (84) - Your last repeat section will end with 8 sts instead of 12.
Round 15: Sc in first 8 sts, *make 2 sc in next st, sc in next 13 sts*, repeat between * around (90) - Your last repeat section will end with 5 sts instead of 13.
Head Piece # 1: Sl st in next st and fasten off.
At this point, I pinned the hat in place at the top of Piece # 1 so I could configure the placement of the eyes, nose and mouth. I then sewed the face parts only in place before continuing with Head Piece # 2.
Head Piece # 2: Do not fasten off. With wrong sides facing, hold piece # 1 and piece # 2 together. Working through both layers of the outer round: Sc in each stitch back to start, join in first sc. If preferred, you can lightly stuff the head with poly fiber fill before sealing it up completely. Fasten off.
You can now sew the hat on top of the head. Place the seamed head pieces between the two brim layers of the hat and use the hat tail to sew through all 4 layers, going across the whole length of the brim.

Neck Scarf

Mark the bottom 25 stitches of the head, as shown.
Turn your work so the stitch markers are at the top. With the right side of the Snowman facing you, slip stitch to join Color Red in the Front Loop only of marked stitch A. The first round will be worked in the front loops only across to Marker B, then the piece is turned and you will work in the back loops only of the same stitches back to Marker A.
Round 1: Ch 1, working in Front Loops only, sc in same st, sc in next 3 sts, make 2 sc in next st, *sc in next 4 sts, make 2 sc in next st*, repeat between * to marked stitch B. Turn your work and continue working in the un-used Back Loops only: repeat the instructions between * back to start, do not join (60)
Round 2: Hdc in first 8 sts, sc in next 14 sts, hdc in next 16 sts, sc in next 14 sts, hdc in last 8 sts, do not join (60)
Round 3: Hdc in first 7 sts, sc in next 16 sts, hdc in next 14 sts, sc in next 16 sts, hdc in last 7 sts, do not join (60)
Round 4: Hdc in first 6 sts, sc in next 18 sts, hdc in next 12 sts, sc in next 18 sts, hdc in last 6 sts, do not join (60)
Round 5: Sc in each stitch around, do not join (60)
Round 6 and 7: Repeat Round 5
The next row of SC stitches will be worked through both layers to seam the bottom of the scarf.
Row 8: Sl st in next st to move your starting position. Ch 1, sc across, fasten off (30)

Dangling Scarf Piece

This piece is worked in a tube. Do not join the rounds. Leave a lengthy beginning tail for sewing.

Round 1: Ch 21, sc in 2nd ch from hook, and in each chain to end, bring the ends together and sl st in first sc to form a ring (20)
Round 2: Ch 1, sc in each stitch around, do not join (20)
Repeat Round 2 until tube measures approximately 5" in length.
Final Row: Working through both layers, sc across the bottom edge of the piece to close the end (10)
Fasten off. Center the un-seamed edge over the neck scarf, just below the snowman's chin and sew in place using the beginning tail.
Scarf Fringe: Cut 20 pieces of yarn that are each 5" in length. Use 2 pieces of yarn per stitch to add fringe along the bottom edge of the scarf. Trim the ends to an even length.

I feel so stupid. I am not understanding the 2nd part of round 1. what does it mean working the other side of the chain-i don't see how this will extend the already 15 single crochets to 13 more. please someone simplify this for me so I can hurry and start these little cuties. I am at a loss to understand. HELP

could someone help me? i am trying to save this pattern to my box but the save button isn't under the name of the pattern like the help thing says!

Hi there, I was having the same problem. I just joined this site, couldn't find the save button, saw your comment, was hoping for an answer but I think I found it myself. All the way below the entire pattern there is a row of buttons red for Pinterest, dark blue for FB, light blue for Twitter, followed by two grey buttons one to place a comment, and next to it a save button. When I tired that save button I got a message box saying it was on my list and the grey button changed from "save" into "remove". See the attached print-screen image. I just checked "My Crochet Patterns" and lo and behold, I saved the Christmas decoration. I hope this helps.

This is such an easy crochet project that will be one of the family favorites in no time. This snowman wall hanging will be perfect to hang in any room of the house to add just a little bit of holiday cheer.

This is so cute and would make a great addition to my sister's snowman collection! It would be sweet on one of her interior doors. I think it would also be neat to figure out a female companion for the snowman. Using a different colored yarn for the hat and a few snowflakes or floral embellishments would be perfect. If you did that, what colors would you use? I'm thinking blue or green.

I know at my house, there is not a lot of room for any thing else to hang on the wall, but during the winter holiday, I will rearrange a few items to allow for Christmas decorations. This would be a great addition to the items I display in the downstairs guest bathroom. I can not wait to get started.

This is such an awesome idea! You could make it and keep it up all winter long, not just for Christmas decorating! If you do not like the red scarf, you could change the color to suit your tastes! I would go with a more understated color, to match the colors I already have around.

I think I hit the save button in record time. I love snowmen, or as my grand daughter says, snow people. I like to hang holiday de orations on the back side of the front and back doors. I even hang them on inside room doors. This is going up on my bedroom door!

Oh how cute is this Snowman Wall Hanging. The pattern, on this page is well written and easy to follow, with the print tab I saved this pattern quickly. I love this and will be making a few of them to give family for this Holiday season. I so love the scarf on this snowman and think he will look so good on our front door to great people. I want to cross stitch Happy Holidays on the scarf. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.

I think I know just the right person to make this for- my mother! She is 71, lives in a senior mobile home community, and likes to decorate but can't have stuff that is too, too large and/or too difficult to put up and take down herself. This would be perfect for her. I like the fact that this is not a Santa or a reindeer that looks specifically Christmas. This snowman can be left up all winter long! Made up of just never ending rounds of single crochets it will be a piece of cake to work up. For a little more upscale and modern snowman, try a different color scarf-perhaps in a frosty sparkly blue!

This is such a cute pattern. I also appreciate how the fonts are big enough to read without straining your eyes. I will try to make this before Christmas this year. Thank you so much!

This is a wonderful project to work up in the summer and have ready for decorating and gift giving. He can be embellished in many ways to make each one special. The pattern appears to be straight forward and I am anxious to work these up for next year.
