Christmas Snowman Crochet Inspiration
Last holiday season I made Santa's Blanket and it was a total hit! I'm so glad y'all loved it. Next came Elf's Blanket, and now we are adding Snowman's Blanket to the collection. I LOVE the simple but specific details of this one. The snowman scarf with fringe is the perfect touch!
Use Bulky Yarn to Crochet a Winter Snowman Blanket
The other thing I love about this crochet Snowman Blanket is that it doesn't have to be specifically for Christmas. Feel free to change the scarf and/or fur border color to match your winter decor!
Make this an Everyday Blanket with an Easy Modification
Too pressed for time right now? Not into Christmas decor? Don’t celebrate Christmas? No worries! You can easily modify this blanket pattern to be a gorgeous, everyday throw by using just one color throughout the pattern and leaving off the embellishments. So whether you are making this for Christmas or not - get planning and find your yarn!

Place the angled panel along the top row of the scarf so that it overlaps half of the straight panel. Using Cranberry yarn and a yarn needle, sew around the edges of the two scarf panels only where they lay on the scarf rows of the blanket. Leave the bottom of the scarf panels loose. Add fringe.
Weave in all ends.
