Crochet Marshmallow Snowman in a Mug

Here’s a quick little project you can make over the holidays! I have re-created the Marshmallow Snowman in a Mug into a crochet keepsake, ornament, or even use it as a toy! This non-edible version is super cute and won’t melt! A fun make for the winter season.

I first spotted this yummy marshmallow snowman over at Wide Open Eats

And I love THIS edible version by It’s Always Autumn as well!

Here is the pattern for my crochet version!

Shop yarn HERE at Yarnspirations.com
