Mr Snowman will brighten up cold winter days, and he won’t melt!  This cuddly chap is dressed in a hat and scarf, and the pattern gives you two options for the nose so you can choose your favourite: a pointy carrot or a round potato (as in the photo). Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the snowman is knitted in acrylic DK yarns.  Most pieces are worked flat (back and forth) on single pointed knitting needles, not in the round. DPNs are used to work i-cord tube pieces for the arms.
