I saw this cute little stuffed snowball play set to have indoor snowball
fights with your family and I knew I just had to make a crochet
version.
Here it is, my FREE pattern:
NOTES
*All materials will be listed with each pattern (Bucket, Snowballs, Snowflake)
*Bucket and Snowballs are worked in continuous rounds with no joins or chains
*If
you decide to add faces like the other versions offer, remember not to
add any hard pieces like safety eyes, google eyes, or even fabric paint.
Also make sure to only stuff with fiber fill and do not over stuff
because they will become stiff and hardened.
