As has the red-hatted snowman.
And the mochimochi snowman on the far right.
But this is the first time you've seen the other seven snowmen.
I made all of the white bodies, first - and started skipping a few rows and a few increases to get them just a hair smaller. It took about 30 minutes-ish each to make the bodies. I used the-yarn-that-is-not-to-be-named that had a little sparkle in it... and stuffed it with some wool fiber that I'm working at eliminating out of the house to try to remove some of the allergens in my home.
The hats were made in about 15 minutes each yesterday. The scarves were converted to Icords and took about 10 minutes each.
Then it took me a little under an hour to seam the bits together, tack down the scarves and add french knot eyes.
These turned out pretty cute, were fast and easy to make and I love them. I might had made more angels, but "a" didn't like it as well as the snowmen and since most of these are going to school to be gifts for his teachers, I figured he could dictate it. He's getting the mochimochi snowman for his ornament this year. That leaves an angel which will probably go to future daughter-in-law and three snowmen for myself, my eldest and my new grandson.
Woot! One more set of Christmas knitting OFF THE NEEDLES!
Which leaves me with a hat and a scarf for Christmas knitting. I can deal with that and not feel overwhelmed.
