It's getting chilly here in Illinois and it's time to pull out those winter hats and mittens. Keep baby warm (and cute) with a snowman cocoon and hat. This fun set works up quickly using the basic cocoon and teddy bear hat pattern with just a few changes here and there to turn it into snowman wear.

Notes and Tips:
Helpful to read these before starting and maybe even again when it's time to put your softie together
~Do not join pieces that are crocheted in the round unless otherwise indicated in each individual pattern piece
~A stitch marker will come in handy when repeating rounds or another helpful way to keep track of your rounds is to, start all pieces with a long tail, pull the tail through the beginning stitch of each round.
~Important, because your cute baby is small and has lots of little pieces, please never give him or her to a small child or baby.
