Crispen the Snowman Free Crochet Pattern

One of my favorite things about the winter season is decorating for the holidays, which include snowman precisely placed around my kitchen and dining area. That’s why I created Crispen the Snowman, a free crochet pattern! I love how soft he is using Lion Brand Go For Faux and Lion Brand Vel-Luxe yarns. If you love snowmen, or know someone who loves them, you’ll be making an abundance of these guys!
