I designed this guy to be the centerpiece of my dining room table during the winter months. I love his whimsical charm! =)
The snowman is constructed using medium weight yarn and US 5 (3.75mm) DPNs, which makes it approx. 9.5” tall. However, any size yarn and needle size could be substituted to vary it’s size.
The body & hat are knit in the round while the scarf is knitted flat. The pattern is 6 pages long and includes photos & tutorial links to assist you.
Recommended skill level is Advanced Beginner due to working in the round with DPNs.
