Snowman
Snowman charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 19 by 24 motif made for seasonal throws, festive runners, and holiday gifts. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
This is a friendly first filet project. The shape reads clearly even if your counting slips by a square or two, and there are no tricky fragmented areas to track.
Yarn and hook
Work the snowman in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
Reach for the snowman when you want a festive accent. It looks at home on a seasonal throw and a festive table runner alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a host, the snowman suits a seasonal gathering beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 4.8 by 6.0 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
