Snowman in a Beanie SVG

About this design

A snowman dressed for a proper cold snap. The knitted beanie has a big pom-pom on top and rows of stitch patterns cut into it, so it looks like real knitwear. The scarf wraps around the neck and hangs down in two striped tails with fringed ends, and two thin twig arms reach out from the sides. The face is simple, two round coal eyes and a small nose, so all the attention goes to the cozy knitwear. Printed on a mug, a blanket or a sweatshirt, the knit pattern looks almost like real wool, which makes it a lovely choice for anything cozy.

Pieces and cutting

The solid file is a single connected piece with 42 cut-outs, most of them the stitches in the beanie and the stripes on the scarf. That knit texture is what makes the design charming, and it is also why it carries a “Print & web” label: the smallest cut-outs need room. For cutting, start at about 5.5 inches wide and use a fresh blade and smooth vinyl. For anything smaller, print it.

Good to know
