Christmas Snowman<br />
Notes:<br />
This snowman is knit in one piece, placing stitch markers and<br />
picking up stitches for nose once body is completed. To knit it<br />
in pieces and sew together once finished, CO the stitches called<br />
for in round 1 and work as written. Use the stitch markers on the<br />
body for placement when assembling and whipstitch the nose in<br />
place.<br />
This pattern is written round by round so that you can use any<br />
weight of yarn you prefer. Simply use smaller needles than those<br />
recommended for your yarn to make a tight fabric your stuffing<br />
wont show through.<br />
