Get ready to knit a whole flurry of these sweet little snowmen! This adorable, free knit snowman ornament pattern by Esther Braithwaite is the perfect, quick Christmas knitting project.
These cute Snowbuddies are really sturdy and a true joy to knit. They’re constructed in one piece from the bottom-up. You can choose to knit the body flat on straight needles and seam it later, or work it in the round on double-pointed needles. Once the knitting is done, you’ll use some basic hand stitches to define the arms and legs. They are incredibly fast and fun to knit – ideal for Christmas ornaments, gifting, charity knitting, knit keychains, and more!
The Snowbuddies featured here are about 4 inches tall and made with DK yarn and 3.25mm needles. While exact gauge isn’t crucial, just make sure you knit a thick fabric to keep the stuffing nicely hidden.
