He wears a pink-and-yellow pom-pom beanie, a long teal knit scarf, and blue mittens, with a row of small buttons down his front. Green stick pines rise on the right, a red snow shovel leans on the left, and quilt-block stars, snowflakes, and a red poinsettia block drift across the warm pebble-tan background in reds, greens, aquas, and creams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Pattern Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the printed paper pattern only.
