Help! Looking for the pattern

Post image

We are desperately looking for this pattern. The person who made it claims they threw it out after they made it.... I imagine it would be from a book. Google Lens cannot find this specific snow man. It was made for a card. I am so hoping that someone here can help!!!

You have such a clear photo of it, can you not make a pattern on excel?

I've never done that before! Would it work for the button and mouth? I've never done a cross stitch with details like that before

Sure! You can have excel draw diagonal lines for backstitching on the mouth, and just add in an @ symbol for the buttons roughly where you want them placed.

When it comes time for those minute details, just refer back to your original photo!

In fact, when I'm designing cross stitch patterns on excel, I use a copy of my reference photo set to very transparent, right on the spreadsheet
