Important Notes
- Work in continuous rounds without joining the round with
a slip stitch. Do not turn at the end of each round.
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each
round.
- Head and body are worked in one piece. Beginning at the
top of the head, working down the body.
- I recommend using invisible decrease to avoid the gap in
the stitches.
- Firmly stuff as you work and overstuff slightly before
finishing the section being worked. This will allow for the
stuffing to fill out the shape after the crocheting is done.
- I have used double strand knitting technique to create a
shiny texture on the hats. This is a technique in which yarn
and metallic thread
- If you do not want to use double strand knitting technique
any store bought sparkly yarn would do (you will likely get
a uniform shine this way, not the subtle twinkling effect
created by the double strand technique).
- I have embroidered initials onto the body as these were
created for a custom order. If you do not wish to do so, you
can easily sew in buttons for a more traditional snowman.
