Snowman Crochet Mug – Free Pattern

In January, we celebrate snow and snowmen! My last post was dedicated to a super cute and easy crochet snowman garland and, in this one, I am sharing what might be my favourite seasonal mug (so far)! If you have seen some of my previous posts, you know I love to create mugs for the play kitchen. I have previously shared the cauldron and mummy mugs I created for Halloween as well as two Christmas mugs (here and here) for the festive season.
