starting with the picture graph - then work half done and the finished piece - it is about 35 cm square. This crochet method is called corner to corner (or c2c) and has been popping up on various crochet blogs I follow all year - the appeal is the ease of creating a picture from a square based graph such as you would use for cross stich or beading pictures (the inspiration for this picture was a Perler beading piece) . It does take concentration to follow the graph because each line of work is a diagonal. Hard to tell from the pictures but the background is dark blue while the eyes and buttons on the snowman are black. Various design and technique lessons learnt to apply to future projects - this is my first complex picture - it is fun (but don't even ask about all the ends to sew in or look at the back!)
looking forward to seeing what has caught your eye this week

You have been busy and it looks very complicated.
I can't see a link up.
He's a rather jolly looking chap ... perfect timing for the first snowfalls of winter!
My goodness Helena this is amazing, what concentration you must have. It's very impressive though and I love the sequence too.
A very impressive SNAP collection this week. You are quite skilled & creative - such a cute snowman or do we correctly say snow person (col).
That's brilliant!! If/when I ever get my internet back (grrrr) I will investigate more. I fear too hard for my novice skillset however.
cool idea to use a cross-stitch pattern set-up for crochet....cute snowman too!
Oh, that turned out great! So FUN to see the steps to completion.
Gosh, that look hard! I can follow a knitting chart but I think this would be more challenging. Respect!
Love that snowman! I think a chart would be my only hope in a project like this.
That looks very tricky - but cool effect at the end.
