BUILDING THE SNOWMAN:

Sew all three stars onto the body – see photos
TIP FOR SEWING STARS – insert yarn needle underneath BOTH LOOPS of the ST and work back and forth sewing the star onto the body – this way the star will not loose it’s shape 🙂

Position one end of the scarf right underneath the head on the front side (the neck) – using the 7 STS that were used to sew the head onto the body – sew on the scarf.
Flip scarf around to the back of the ‘neck’ and sew on the back side – again using the 7 STS.

Flip scarf back to the front and down side ways. Sew into position – see photos.

Position hat sideways just over the top part of the head and sew  – flipping to the back – secure hat by sewing into the top head stitches.

Carrot Nose:

CH 9

Work 1 SC into 2nd CH from hook, work 1 SC into next 2 CH, work 1 HDC into next 3 CH, work 1 DC into last 2 CH.
Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Using the ‘magic ring’ hole in the center of the head – sew carrot nose into position.
