1. 1-4. 18 sc (18)
2. 5. (1sc, 1dec)*6 (12)

Add the eyes between rows 2 and 3.

Fasten off, and sew in the end. Stuff the body firmly but evenly before closing the final rounds to keep shape.

Creating the Summer Float (Float Chain)

To make the float chain, chain 5 and join the last stitch to the first to make a circle. From now on, work in rows.

1. 1-30. 5 sc (5)

Make sure the rows fit around the snowman’s body and sew the ends together to form the float ring.

Assembly & Finishing Details

Nose: Make the nose by placing the crochet needle in between two stitches in the same row of the eyes. Chain 2, then turn and make 1 sc before fastening off. Sew or attach it centered between the eyes.

Buttons: Make the buttons by stitching on 2 small dots in the center of the body with a contrasting color.

Arms (branches): To make the branches, sew in the BLB stitches with brown yarn, following the pattern to create twig-like arms.

Float Flowers & Accents: To make the flowers on the float, embroider or crochet small flower shapes and sew them onto the float ring with an accent yarn color.

Blush & Final Touches: Because the idea is a snowman in summer, add a little blush with a small amount of pink yarn embroidery or a light application of fabric-safe blush. Check all seams, hide ends with a tapestry needle, and make any minor adjustments to proportions to suit your taste.

Tips:

• Place safety eyes before stuffing to make attachment easier, or embroider eyes for a child-safe toy.
• If rounds don't line up as expected, count your stitches and adjust increases/decreases to maintain shape.
• Customize colors and embellishments to create a unique summer-snowman character—add sunglasses, a beach towel or a tiny crochet ice cream for extra fun.
