Dear Fellow Rug-Hooker,
Nothing says winter charm like a cheerful snowman—and now you can bring one to life with the Tree-Trimming Snowman Punch Needle Pattern! This delightful 10” x 10” table mat, designed by Ginger Jackson of Wayne, Oklahoma, is a perfect project to capture the holiday spirit while exploring the timeless craft of punch needle rug hooking.
A Beginner-Friendly, Quick-to-Stitch Design
If you love rug hooking but want a project you can complete in a weekend, this sweet and simple punch needle design is just right! Using the Oxford Rug Punch technique, you’ll punch from the back of the fabric, creating soft, looped textures that form the snowman’s cozy scene on the front.
All you need to get started is:
✔ #14 Mini Oxford Punch Needle
✔ 3-ply rug yarn (or worsted weight yarn)
✔ Monk’s cloth backing
✔ A gripper frame or sturdy craft hoop
✔ Tracing tools (lightbox, bright window, or red dot tracing fabric)
A Handmade Holiday Heirloom
This whimsical snowman, dressed in dapper winter attire, is placing a twinkling star atop his festive tree. Whether you use classic holiday colors or give it your own creative twist, this piece will add a handmade touch to your seasonal décor. Display it as a table centerpiece, gift it to a fellow rug-hooking enthusiast, or use it as a charming wall hanging!
