MAKING UP

‣ For the leaves, block and weave in yarn tails on
the WS.
‣ For each acorn, use the cast off tail to sew the
side edges together stuffing as you sew, and
gather the cast on sts together at the base.
Leave the cast on tail dangling on the outside for
the acorn stalk, and trim to a few cm long.

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.
