Time to get started with those Christmas presents or what do you think?
Who says that you need egg cosies only at Easter? Why shouldn’t your breakfast eggs also look cute during winter time? Its time to dress up those eggs :) And as they whip up in no time they’re perfect for a little handmade last minute present.

you might want to give your little snowman a scarf
Row 1: Ch until desired scarf length is reached
Row 2: in third ch from the hook started hdc (htc) until you’ll reach the beginning of your chain, fasten off, sew in ends.
I didn’t attach the hat to my little snowman as I thought it would be a nice feature if you can play with it. But if you want to I would slightly stuff the hat with polyfill before sewing to the head.
I would love to see how your little snowman egg cozy turned out :) So feel free to send me either a picture or post it to my Facebook wall :)
Happy Crocheting!
