Download the Snowman Pattern

To download the pattern, follow the instructions below:

From a phone or a tablet (Android): There should be something similar for mobile devices with Android or iOS. Click on the image. Save it by holding your finger on the image and selecting the “Save Image” option. Then go to your photo gallery and print it (there is an option).

From a computer (Windows): Click on the photo of the pattern you see below. In the new tab that will open, you press the right mouse button and select the “Save image as …” option. Then, you choose where the image will be saved on your computer.

Print the pattern twice: use the first copy to cut out the snowman’s body and the second to cut out the arm.

Materials and Tools You’ll Need

• Fleece fabric: Soft and forgiving—white for the snowman and another color for his hat and scarf.
• Synthetic stuffing: Lightweight and perfect for plush projects.
• Needle and thread: Or a sewing machine for faster results.
• Scissors: Sharp enough to make clean fabric cuts.
• Decorative details: Buttons, beads, or felt for the snowman’s nose, eyes, mouth, and buttons. Alternatively, you can use acrylic paint for his eyes and mouth.
• Optional tools: Fabric glue or a hot glue gun for no-sew touches and pins to hold pieces in place.

With these items in hand, you’re ready to create your snowy friend.

How to Make Your Stuffed Snowman

Step 1: Cut the Fabric

Trace the pattern onto your fleece fabric and cut out two identical snowman shapes for the body, and two shapes for his hands.

Step 2: Stitch the Body

Place the fabric pieces with their right sides facing each other. Sew along the edges, leaving a small opening at the bottom for stuffing. If using a sewing machine, a simple straight stitch works perfectly.

Step 3: Stuff Your Snowman

Turn the stitched fabric right-side out and gently stuff it with synthetic filling. Push the stuffing into all corners to give your snowman a nice, plump shape. Don’t overstuff, as it might distort the seams.

Step 4: Close the Opening

Once your snowman is stuffed, stitch the opening closed using a needle and thread. A ladder stitch works well to make the seam almost invisible.

Step 5: Make the Arms

Pull the edges of the circle that forms the snowman’s arm with a thread to tighten it, then fill it with synthetic stuffing. You will get a ball. Do the same with the other arm.

Step 6: Assembly

Tighten the neck area of the snowman with thread to visually separate the head from the body. Sew or glue the arms onto the snowman.

Step 7: Add Features and Accessories

Now comes the fun part! Use a triangle piece of felt to create a nose (glue it to the face), paint his eyes and a smile, and buttons for the body.

To make the scarf, cut a strip of fleece measuring 5.5 cm x 40 cm and fringe the edges with small cuts. For the hat, cut a piece of fleece 14 cm x 28 cm. Sew along the 28 cm edge to form a tube, then gather one end and trim the top into small strips for a pom-pom effect. Fold the open edge upward to create a cuff and place the hat on the snowman’s head.

Both the scarf and hat can be attached to the snowman with glue or by sewing them in place.

Tips for Customization

• Make it Sparkle: Add glitter fabric or sequins to your snowman for a magical touch.
• Holiday Accessories: Use tiny wreaths, miniature ornaments, or bells to turn your snowman into a centerpiece.
• Ornament Option: Sew a loop of ribbon at the top to hang your snowman on the Christmas tree.
