I am so excited to finally be sharing my C2C Snowman Scarf. I really think this scarf is a wonderful stepping stone from basic Corner to Corner crochet into the world of Graph Corner to Corner Crochet.
Below you will find the complete pattern and instructional photos for this crochet scarf. You will also find all the materials, stitches, gauge, and sizing information. If you would like all of this in a nicely formatted printable format, you can purchase the Ad-Free Large Print PDF Pattern.
If you don’t know already the C2C Snowman Scarf is one of the practice patterns for my How to Corner to Corner Crochet Tutorial. If you are knew to the Corner to Corner crochet technique I would highly recommend you check out that tutorial first.
This pattern looks like a Corner to Corner graph but it actually just the result of changing colors at the end of your rows and the fact the C2C crochet is worked on a diagonal that gives this scarf that appearance.
I finished off myC2C Snowman Scarf with a cute little crochet carrot nose and a few buttons. You will notice I only have 4 buttons. (Some how my other packet of buttons got posted in my craft room.) I would recommend using 5 or 6 buttons for the mouth.
If you do not want to use buttons, I have provided simple instructions for making some crocheted circles below.

Using the Corner to Corner Crochet Stitch

Size
The final size of my scarf measured 6 inches by 63 inches.
I had my five year old try this scarf on and the width looked good on him as well. You can alway work more or less rows to adjust the length of the scarf.
Changing Colors in the C2C Snowman Scarf
You will be changing colors in the last double crochet stitch of the row. To do this make your double crochet stitch like you normally would, but for the last yarn over, use the new color and drop the old color. This way when you chain up 6 in the next row it will be with the new color.
C2C Snowman Scarf Pattern
Using White, Use the Corner to Corner Crochet Stitch to increase for 9 rows.
Ch 6.
R1: Dc into the 4th, 5th and 6th Ch from the hook.
R2-9: Ch 6, Dc into the 4th, 5th, and 6th chain from the hook. (Slst to the turning chain of the previous row, Ch 3, Work 3 Dc around the turning chain you Slst to.) Repeat from (to) to the end of the row.
R10: Turn, Slst to the last 3 Dc of the previous row, Ch3, turn. Work 3 Dc around the turning Ch of the previous row, *Slst to the next turning Ch, Work 3 Dc around the turning Ch of the previous row,* repeat from *to* until you are even with the side of the previous row. (Note: You will work 9 squares in this row.)

Repeat rows 10 and 11 until you have a total of 17 rows.

Continue repeating Row 23 and Row 24 until you have a total of 86 rows or you reach your desired length.
Fasten off once you reach your desired length.
Alternate Ending
If you would like both sides to be squared off instead of having a pointed hat you can repeat this optional row until you have a squared off end.
Optional Row: Turn, Slst to the last 3 Dc of the previous row, Ch3, turn. Work 3 Dc around the turning Ch of the previous row, *Slst to the next turning Ch, Work 3 Dc around the turning Ch of the previous row,* repeat from *to* until you are even with the top of the previous row.
Carrot Nose
Using the Terra Cotta or any orange medium weight yarn.
Ch 16
R1: Dc in the 4th Ch from the hook. Dc in the next 4 Ch, Hdc in the next 3 Ch, Sc in the next 3 Ch, Slst in the last 2 Ch.
R2: Ch1, turn, Skip the first stitch, Slst in the next 2 stitches, Sc in the next 3 Stitches, Hdc in the next 4 Stitches. Dc in the next 2 Stitches, 4Dc in the last stitch and Slst to the bottom of the first Dc made.
To finish your scarf sew on your 1 1/4 inch buttons as eyes, 3/4 buttons in a mouth shape and sew on your nose. I used white yarn to sew everything on so that it would not be noticeable on the backside of the scarf.
When sewing onto the scarf with white I make very small stitches on the front side of the carrot so when the stitches are pulled tight they are nearly invisible.
Don’t forget to sew your pom pom to the top!
Crochet Buttons
If you do not wish to use store bought buttons we can crochet some alternatives for our C2C Snowman Scarf pretty quickly with just a little bit of black or brown yarn.
Eye “Buttons”
Make 2
R1: Work 12Dc into a Magic Circle, Slst to the first Dc and Fasten off.
You can leave a tail to sew onto the scarf or use white yarn to sew onto the scarf.
Mouth “Buttons”
Make 4-6
R1: Work 9 Hdc into a Magic Circle, Slst to the first Hdc. Fasten off.
You can leave a tail to sew onto the scarf or use white yarn to sew onto the scarf.
And there you have a fun and whimsical C2C Snowman Scarf!

He’s adorable!!! I still haven’t gotten around to actually doing the C2C tutorials, but I will eventually (sigh). As soon as I do and I’m reasonably proficient, I’m making him!!
That sounds wonderful! It is a fun stitch and you will definitely learn it fast!
I collect snowmen and I absolutely love this scarf. Thanks
I love this scarf. Just do not get row 18. At all. I have tried several times and just cannot figure out where I am supposed to be working. Help please!? Thanks
Row 18 is exactly the same as Row 10. The only thing that changes is that you will change colors at the end.
This is adorable! Love it. Thank you for sharing it. I’ve never done C2C before but as soon as I learn this is the first thing I’m making.
thank you for sharing this, was able to adapt and do a Grinch Scarf for a friend, clear instruction and video and I was able to easily teach myself this technique.
That is wonderful!
Glad to see your comment. I am new to C2C and am trying a Grinch Scarf too but got stuck after the first decrease section. Ended up with just a square. Looks as if this should solve my problem!
Your row 10 instructions don’t make sense says chain 3 then work 3 double crochets around the chain 3. That doesn’t work right.
In row 10 you start working your rows to create a rectangle. First you will Slst to the top of the last three stitches that you made in row 9. Then you will chain 3, turn your work and work 3 double crochet into the a turning chain. Not the turning chain you just made but the the turning chain of the previous row just like you have done to create every ‘square’ in the previous rows. Here is a video on how to make a rectangle in corner to corner crochet. https://youtu.be/YUJpCUAdjvU I hope this helps.
Can’t wait to try this! But I have a question on materials.
1) The yarn yardages seem awfully high, are they correct?
Thank you!
It was made over a year ago so it is hard to know for sure. I do remember having to buy a second skein of the main hat color to finish the hat. I had to order online because they stopped carrying the color in the store. =(
How can I print the pattern. I did not get an email.
Thanks.
The newsletter subscribers get access to a lot of fun printables including gift tags and a crochet journal. The patterns are not included on the printable resource page.
Where can I get the pattern for the snowman scarf that I can either download or print. If I have to pay for it, that’s okay.
A printable version can now be purchased on Raverly at https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-snowman-c2c-scarf
How do I print this without the ads covering the instructions? I don’t mind the ads but can’t make it print without them overlapping the words. There must be a setting I’m missing somewhere?
It is odd that the adds are over the instructions. I recommend copying and pasting it to a word document if you are having trouble printing from the web.
