Are you wishing for more snow? I know you are not...
 
I've had enough snow for this winter.
 
It is still early in the winter.

Wow! Cool pattern! Hey, that looks amazing!

Tell me, how long would it take to make it?
 
There are to many variables to say how long it will take any individual. It takes me about 2 hours,but I have lots of interruptions. :o)
 
Hi Suzetta,
Don;t know if you are still checking comments here but I wanted to thank you for this pattern. I made it and it was easy and came out perfectly. The pattern was well designed and well stated. I added ear flaps and ties since the weight of the snow man might move the hat off his ears and he's little. Thank you again. Great job!
