Cast On:

• Start with the white yarn. Cast on by going front to back around the needles, creating a loose base. Make sure the last white and first black needles are aligned with the yarn feeder.

Knitting:

• Set your row counter to zero and begin knitting. Knit 60 rows with the white yarn.

Color Change to Teal:

• After 60 rows, change to teal yarn. Knit one row to create a drawstring line. Do not count this in your pattern rows. Cut the yarn leaving a long tail.

Continue With Teal:

Save

• After adding the drawstring row, continue with teal yarn, knitting 2 rows.

Change Back to White:

• Switch back to white yarn, knitting 3 rows.

Repeat Pattern:

• Continue the pattern of 2 rows teal, 3 rows white until you complete 20 patterned rows (80 rows in total on the counter).

Cast Off:

• Use a yarn needle to thread through the loops for a drawstring cast-off, securing the last row.

Snowman Head and Body Assembly

Creating the Head and Body Sections:

• Use the drawstring method for both the bottom and top of the knitted tube to create separate head and body sections. Adjust stuffing to match the sizes closely.

Facial Features:

• Use black yarn for eyes and mouth, and orange yarn for the carrot nose. Embroider or attach as you prefer.

Finishing Touches:

• Attach small jingle bells as buttons down the front or any other preferred decorations.

Accessories

Beanie:

• Using chosen colors, knit a small beanie using the circular knitting machine. Start with a drawstring cast on, knit 30 rows, do a few color changes if desired for patterns, and finish with a drawstring cast-off. Attach a jingle bell at the top.

Scarf:

• Use a clover wonder knitter or similar tool for an i-cord. Knit until the scarf is a suitable length to wrap around the snowman's neck. Attach jingle bells for extra decoration.
