Continuing my obsession with themed bookshelves (see Fall here), for January, we celebrate snow and snowmen! I came across a snowman garland online that I just adored and knew I had to recreate it. I absolutely love how these little guys turned out, so I am sharing the pattern, which is super easy and quick to do, in case you would like to create them too. You can crochet as many as you would like and be sure to have fun choosing different scarf colours. I hope you enjoy this snowman crochet garland and that it manages to bring a little brightness to dull January days.
