The holiday’s are creeping up on us! If you are looking for ways to fill your Christmas stockings to the brim Oriental Trading has a fun assortment of small toys that are perfect for stocking stuffers, classroom gifts, party favors, and more! They have a 50 piece assorted toy set or a 250 piece set that is full of cute winter-themed items like snowflake pencils, stamps, yo-yo’s, bouncy balls, plush penguins, polar bear figurines, squishy and boingy toys (as my 4-year-old likes to call them), and much more! Very holiday neutral if you need something for school parties. I created Crochet Snowman Gift Sacks to hold all the goodies and will give each of my kids a sack to open on Christmas! But I have soooo many little toys leftover (a HUGE box full) that I plan on using them for classroom gifts as well. I am providing the pattern for the Snowman Sack below for all my fellow crocheters!
You can find these Assorted Toy sets on Oriental Trading.com.
I also snagged a pack of Cheery Winter Spiral Notepads to add to my gift sack (only $5.25 for a set of 48!)
Oriental Trading has over 700 new Christmas items live on their site! Browse them all HERE!

Materials:
– Chunky White Yarn (I used Loops & Threads Woolike Chunky found at Michaels Craft Stores)

– Size H crochet hook
– Tapestry needle
– 1/8 inch ribbon (optional)
– Large snowflake button (or any button you want)
– Two 1/2 inch black buttons for the eyes
Abbreviations:
SC = Single Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
Front Post Single Crochet and Back Post Single Crochet tutorial
Sack Pattern;
Magic Ring, Chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join, pull tight, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 3: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 4: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 1 (30 SC)
Round 5: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (30 SC)
Round 6: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1 (40 SC)
Round 7-15: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (40 SC)
Attach green worsted weight yarn (or whatever you color you want the beanie to be)
Round 16: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1
Round 17-19: Front Post SC, Back Post SC, repeat around, join, chain 1 (this creates the ribbed rim of the hat)
Round 20-25: SC in each stitch around, join, fasten off and weave in ends. (40 SC)
With a thin strand of ribbon (I used 1/8 inch wide) OR a strand of yarn, attach yarn pom-pom to one end. With tapestry needle, weave strand over and under the last SC stitches made in round 25. Attach a large snowflake button to the other end of your strand of ribbon. When pulling tight, only pull on the side of the strand with the snowflake. This allows the pom pom to sit on to of the hat when top of sack is closed!
Snowman Nose:
with orange yarn
Chain 5, SC in second chain from hook, HDC in next 2, DC in last. *SC around the back of the DC stitch, continue to slip stitch on the bottom edge of the nose and join to point. *this part is optional.
Stitch nose to front of sack. Add button eyes and sew on a half smile mouth with black yarn and your tapestry needle.

Hello princess! …tell me about the yarn ? what it is? thank you!
Sarah, On row 6. Shouldn’t your stitch count be 45. Just wondering if I’m reading it right?
Love love this cute snowman..
Looks like it should be “2sc in the next stitch, sc in the next 2” repeat around for round 6. That is a typical growth and would make the count 40.
Ack! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. It was supposed to say “SC in the next 2” to bring it to a count of 40. Sorry about that! All fixed now!
So, you should not miss the chance to watch the match Wallabies
What are the finished dimensions on this sack ?
Sarah, I just don’t know how you get so many cute things done. I have about 10 half finished projects. You are so creative. I really love all of your beautiful artwork. Could you change this a little to make it a santa bag?
Hey! Wondering how big this is finished (with the yarn you’ve listed above)???
It’s about 8 inches tall (with pom pom) and 5 inches wide. Hope that helps!
Lovely!! Thank you. Do you have something similar that is not Christmas? I have a Women’s retreat in March and we make things for all who come… I just had an idea that I could make one for them… I’m a beginner so any help would be appreciate it.
I bet if you did the hat in a dark blue it wouldn’t look Christmas-y, just wintery. I substitute blue or purple for red and green all of the time to make things look winter rather than Christmas, and it works really well.
Your snowman is great for the children. He has a funny face. Thanks for sharing the pattern.
Have a nice weekend, Margaret
Hi! About how many can you get out of 1 skein of the white chunky yarn listed? I’m anxious to make this for my daughters class and curious how much yarn I’d need to make 25.
Oh, cute! That’s a lovely snowman!
Omg this is so cute! How big did you make the pom pom?
Love this!! Thank you so much for sharing.
I would love to do this as a hat also. How could I modify it to be a hat?
Same here!! I’d love to make these as hats for my twin two year old boys. Could this be modified onto a hat? Thanks so much for all your adorable patterns!! I’ve made tons of your hats as gifts and they always wow.
This is tooooooooo cuteee 🙂
Hi, Sarah. I am making this snowman for 8 kiddies in the family. I noticed in the picture round 20 is actually done in the back loops only. Your pattern doesn’t mention to do this. I just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to let your audience know. 🙂
These are so cute I just made three of them real easy to make. Just wondering what size is the pom pom ?
Thank you for sharing such a great idea
Thank you for such a cute quick little bag. two down and only 48 more to go. I am just using rhss and they are coming out adorable. will line with a coffee filter and fill with cookies for all the little kiddos in two different classes. Happy Hook’n
Adorable!
Was wondering how big these bags are? These are incredi adorable.
Hey! Just a question…. where did you get the adorable snowflake? Just curious.
Hi Sarah, I was wondering if you have this in a valentines theme? Or can you suggest on how to attach a heart to it.
That has got to be one of THE cutest crochet items I have ever seen!!!
That has got to be one of THE cutest crochet items I have ever seen!!
IS there a knitted version of this, unfortunately I can’t crochet, but I love this idea…
What would you suggest I use if I want to seal up the bag and fill it with something with a little weight to it? Rice? I want to make a few of these as decorations for my house!
This I so cute!! Thank you for sharing this pattern with us!!
Only thing missing is how to finish the project. I know how to make pompoms.
Would you please share how you connected everything on the top so the pompom goes into place when you close the bag and how you treated the ribbon?
Hello, i was wondering if this could be made with the Bernat Blanket Yarn for the snowman part. I have extra that I wanted to use if possible.
Thank you
Wow, this crochet snowman looks so cute, I also want to make a unit like this.
Instructions say to attach Pom Pom but there are no instructions on how to make one? Can you help. Thanks
Thanks for this beautiful, useful project! Your instructions with the up-close images are so clear.

Lovely Christmas Gift Bag 🙂 Looks very cute.
Thanks for this beautiful post!!
I like this article, it is very meaningful and detailed, I hope you will have many good articles like this to share.
Really like the snowman sack and wondering how to make a smaller version.
This is very cute. Thanks for the lovely blog.
I don’t understand how to put the pompom and snowflake button on. the picture show them at the ends of the ribbon, so how does the pompom sit on the button? If you pull both, or even one end, of the ribbon, they are not going to come together. can you help me with this please?
they dont come together u pull the end with the snow flake that brings the pom-pom to the top and snow flake lays down,look at pic with the pom-pom on top and u will see ….have fun 🙂
Love this, thanks for sharing. When you start on the hat do you go to a smaller size hook? Thanks.
I like that style. Thanks for sharing these useful information!
ove it so much to read this post, totally inspiring.

I just finished my first Snowman sack and love how it turned out. Thank you so much for this easy to follow pattern. I changed the brim slightly to be FP and BO hdc instead of sc to make the ribbing pop a bit more.
