Hello fellow knitters! I’m so excited to share this cheerful snowman wreath I made to add a bit of handmade winter charm to any space. I used soft yarn and festive colors, and used individual beads to give each little snowman face its own personality and cozy holiday feel. It’s lightweight and easy to hang, making it perfect for doors, walls, or any cozy corner during the winter season. This piece is all about celebrating creativity, comfort, and the simple joy of handmade décor.
