Snowman Body & Head:
Magic Ring Start:
- Make a slip knot and chain two (these chains will act as your magic ring).
Round 1:
- Six single crochets into the first chain (the magic ring).
Increasing Rounds:
Round 2:
- Do six increases (two single crochets in each stitch) for a total of 12 stitches.
- Use scrap yarn as a stitch marker to mark the end of each round.
Continued Increases:
Round 3:
- (Single Crochet, Increase) x 6 for a total of 18 stitches.
After Round 4:
- (2 Single Crochets, Increase) x 6 for a total of 24 stitches.
Round 5:
- (3 Single Crochets, Increase) x 6 for a total of 30 stitches.
Consistent Rounds:
Rounds 6-7:
- Single crochet around without increasing for 2 rounds.
Decreasing for the Head Top:
Round 8:
- (3 Single Crochets, Decrease) x 6 for a total of 24 stitches.
Round 9:
- (2 Single Crochets, Decrease) x 6 for a total of 18 stitches.
- Place the 12 mm safety eyes between Rounds 8 and 9, about 7 stitches apart.
More Rounds for the Body:
Round 11:
- Begin increasing again (Single Crochet, Increase) x 6 back up to 18 stitches, adding stuffing to the head.
- Continue with similar patterns of increasing for Round 12 and beyond, till Round 17, each time increasing the stitch count as per the rounds instructed in your scraped information.
Finishing:
- After the final increase round needed to form the body, proceed with decreasing rounds similarly to how you did for the head, ending with Round 24, a decreasing round to close the body.
- Sew the bottom hole closed with a yarn needle.
Nose (Embroidery):
- Using orange yarn, embroider a carrot nose between the safety eyes by overlaying several stitches to form a thick, visible line.
Arms:
- Make slip knots with brown yarn and attach to the sides of the body at an appropriate round (e.g., Round 13).
- Chain seven, create fingers by single crocheting down the chain, create a V-shape for the hand, and slip stitch to attach to the body.
Scarf:
- With the color chosen for the scarf, chain 42 (or an appropriate length to wrap around the snowman), and single crochet back along the chains to create a scarf. Wrap it around the snowman's neck and sew the ends down if desired.
Top Hat:
- Start with a magic ring and the primary color of your hat, follow the increase patterns mentioned, and then switch colors as described to create the rim.
- Sew the top hat onto the snowman.
