Welcome to the second edition of Gifts From The Heart.  I can’t wait to see what you’ve been crafting this week!  Please add your links to the bottom of the post.

I’ve had an idea in my mind for a snowman ornament.  Today I sat down and wrote it out.  These would be so cute covering a Christmas tree.  They would also make great gift decorations, or glue magnets on the back for some super cute ornaments!

Chain 4, join with a slip stitch.

1st Row work 10 dc in the center of ring.  Join to the first one with a sl.  Chain 3 turn.

2nd Row *Work 2 dc in first stitch, work 1 dc in next stitch. *  Repeat ** all the way around, join with sl.

Repeat row 2 until desired size is reached.  In my example I stopped after row 2.

Weave ends in.

Hat

Row 1 Chain 16, slip stitch back through all chains.  At the end slip stich backwards 4 stitches. Chain 2

Row 2 *Sc in 8 stitches.  Chain 2 turn.*

Repeat ** until hat is desired height.  Cut yarn, weave in ends and sew to snowman face.

I used google eyes and sequins for the mouth and nose.  However I think mini pompoms would be very cute to!

I’m still working on my Christmas gifts as fast as my fingers will go and when the kiddies will let me lol.

I finished one more shawl and a pair of slippers.  The slippers were for dh and he swiped them already! He’s been grabbing all his gifts early this year lol.

The shawl is my pattern  and the slippers is the easy mens crochet slippers from Bev’s Country Cottage.

This shawl I made from Red Hearts Comfort yarn, the slippers also.

Well I’m late getting this posted.  A few weeks ago my oldest dd (5 years old) started to learn to crochet.  She’s been busy making lots of chains.  She’s so happy with her self and can’t wait until she can learn to make some thing “real”.
