Like my Snow Joy hat, the star of this hat is a Snowman, by himself, celebrating a snowy night. So joyful knowing winter is here for a few precious months. I like to think this happens when no one is looking, he is freed from his frozen stance of the day - but this snowman is close up. Just his head, shoulders and arms are in view.

I love the MALABRIGO RIOS colors as they add such depth to the finished hat.
Each size has different “snow” patterns. Arms, eyes and nose are duplicate stitched after knitting.

Four sizes are included. Small, Medium, Large and XLarge. Medium shown in photos.
