Afghan blocks for the year

This week I thought we would start a fun project. Each month let's crochet a new block and at the end of the year we will have a completed afghan blanket. 

For our first January Block we are going to make a snowman

I used royal blue for the background I love this yarn from hobby lobby and trimmed the block in candy stick stash but of course change your colors if you want to.
