Here in Wisconsin, the snow tends to stick around for several months. I don't even want to think about the few times it's snowed in May or later... and ironically enough, it's a snow day for the students today! Though my holiday decor comes down a few days after Christmas, my snowman stay out to play until Spring. Want to make a home decor crocheted item? Check out the snowman wall hanging crochet pattern below!
This wall hanging can be created using a wide variety of yarns and embellishments. All yarns used in these hangings are from We Crochet and were so amazing to work with. Watch for upcoming reviews!
Video tutorial on how to work over yarn as well as weaving and fringe can be found at the end of the pattern. It shows small wall hanging.

Special Pattern Notes:
This pattern is worked in the round continuously. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first or last stitch. Working in the round reduces ends to weave in and allows for a nice backing. Plastic canvas can be inserted before closing so the wall hanging keeps its shape better when hung.
Techniques used in this pattern are crochet, weaving, and fringe. Find how to add fringe here. Questions about weaving? Watch this video tutorial of how or scroll down to the bottom of this post.
This pattern has instructions for two sizes. Meet gauge using same or similar yarn to create an 8” width or 12” width wall hanging. If gauge is off or different yarn is used, sizes may vary.
Other Notes
The wall hanging is worked from the top down. Stitch counts include chains.
Embellishments may include, but are not limited to:
Bells, floral/greenery, mistletoe, pinecones, tassels, shells, stones, air succulents, wooden cutouts, etc
Don't have Roving available?
If you’re not a fan of roving, faux fur can be found in most craft stores in the fabric section. When cutting fur fabric, keep scissors as close to the fabric as possible, trying not to cut the fur itself.
