The pattern for these quick cuties is free on my blog. If you make some please tag me when you share pix so I can love them too. Please click the link in my bio for easy access.

Most are made from blanket yarn, but I did write a version for regular cotton too. They take less than 20 minutes each from start to finish and the pattern is so easy that you will have it memorized after the second bunny....so you can whip up a whole litter! (is that what you call a bunch of bunnies?? lol)

The colors I’m using for the blocks I’ve made are to match someone’s house for a gift. 
They are not my usual palette (which is much brighter), but it’s fun seeing different combos for a change.

Ornament Quest #25: Gingerbread Snowmen

This week’s ornament is made up of two fun holiday characters, a gingerbread and a snowman. Make them back to back or into two different ornaments.

Psst… Some of you might be wondering if you are having deja vu. I didn’t realize that I released TWO patterns for week #21. My brain got a little jumbled during the big birthday event in May … that’s the only excuse I have. So I am moving this one to avoid any (more) confusion.

The Ornament Quest

Each Thursday in 2021, join me in making a different ornament so we can have a fun collection at the end of the year. All of the weekly ornaments will be free to view online. The links will be added to my “Calendar of Events” page for easy access.

  • Weeks 1 & 2: The first two Thursdays of each month will feature a variety of ornaments.
  • Week 3: Since there are many cute snowflakes I have chosen to feature a different one on the third Thursday of each month. These will be fun to hang in a window as well as on a tree.
  • Week 4: I also like using ornaments as gift tags so on the fourth Thursday of each month I will feature an ornament that I think would be cute on a package. You can choose to do whatever you would like tho.
  • Extra: Since there are TONS of really cute paid ornaments, I will be featuring those any time there is a fifth Thursday. Please remember patterns are not to be shared. Selling patterns is how designers make a living.

How the ornaments are chosen: I asked in our snappy facebook group, “Totally Snappy“, for people to share links to ornaments they had seen and wish to make. I also wrote down some of my favorite ornaments people had made in our last ornament swap.
