Let It Snow Snowman Square

When the first snow arrives, it's impossible not to get excited about snowball fights, hot cocoa—and snowmen. If you don't want to freeze your fingers, though, stay in and work up the Let It Snow Snowman square, a crochet granny square with additional embellishments to really set it apart. Complete with a hat brim, real button eyes, and a cute carrot nose, this crochet snowman granny square would be the perfect start to a winter blanket or pillow cover. The bright blue background keeps the overall piece feeling fresh and brisk, just like the snow day you get to enjoy while curling up in a granny square afghan.
