The snowman is crocheted very easy and quickly from fluffy sponge yarn. The smooth, shiny fringes of the yarn create beautiful light reflections that make the snowman glitter.

You can use the snowman as a sponge for showering, bathing or washing dishes. For this, the snowman takes off his hat and scarf of course ;-)

Or you can use him, optionally illuminated from the inside with a string of LED lights, as a beautiful, wintry decoration. In your favorite colors, matching your interior, it does not necessarily have to be the classic Christmas white-red, because the winter goes well beyond the Christmas season.

As a small gift or souvenir, the cute snowman conjures the recipient certainly a smile on the face.
