Snowman Pillow Construction
Crochet pillows are typically comprised of two panels joined together, this one is no different!
For this snowman pillow, you will crochet two squares, add some crocheted embellishments to create the look of a snowman body then crochet the panels together to finish the pillow.
Beginner Friendly
If you know the basic crochet stitches, this snowman pillow crochet pattern is totally doable for you!
The griddle stitch is used for the front and back panels of the pillow to get that beautiful texture, but it is only comprised of single and double crochets.
This is a great project to expand your skills a bit depending where you are at on your crochet journey. For seasoned crocheters, this is a fun little project that you will be able to finish in a few sittings!
