Crocus Snowsuit PDF Sewing Pattern

Crocus Snowsuit

2 in 1! Easy and yet professional quality lined mittens, and a serious yet awesome snowsuit to keep you warm and cozy for everything from chilly commutes to snow shoeing with mountain goats. Both come in a full range of sizes and can be made with anything from high-tech DWR fabric and Thinsulate (like you'd see on an outdoor brand) to recycled sleeping bags (I got mine from the thrift shop for $5).

The fully-lined snowsuit sports 2 outer zipper pockets and an inner chest pocket to secure all your goodies, an elastic waist, elastic cuffs, and and snow guards to keep the snow out of your boots.

If you just want to make some mittens, print the first 5 pages of the Letter/A4 PDF copy.

Pattern sizing

This pattern comes in sizes XS-6X and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that below.

Printing the pattern

When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.

Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.

This file is full color layered PDF so you can print just your size or a few sizes for grading your pattern. 

You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.
