What a cute pair of snow people. I can't wait to get started on them. It's not to early to get started. I want to make more than two. Maybe a whole family on my mantel. They could wear different colored scarves. Thank you for offering these little cuties to us .

Oh how cute are these two? I so have to make these. The pattern is very well written and so easy to follow. Everyone needs a Mr. and Mrs. Snowman for the Holiday's. I'm thinking of making some out of plastic bag strips so they can set out side on my front deck. The pattern does not say how big they are so it will be a guessing game and I just have to make them to find out. Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.

Just finished Mr. snowman. He turned out pretty cute-but larger than I expected. I thought the Baby Clouds yarn was hard to work with.

Am I missing something on this page? Is this pattern and all of the others "Cut and Paste"? With pdf files today why are you still making readers cut and paste? Please convert to pdf files.

It's not a big deal to use print friendly and make your own pdf . I'm just happy people are still offering free patterns! I don't complain when someone offers something free. )
