Snowman knit pattern

The small fluffy snowman is knitted from chenille wool Katia Copito. Size: 20 cm. Depending on

the thickness of the wool, the figures can be smaller or larger.

The legs and arms are sewn to the body. The head can be turned in different directions because the body

is connected to the head with threads. But you can just sew the head to the body.

All parts are worked with 2 knitting needles.
First Row - Purl.
The first row you knit from start to end in purl.
Second Row – garter stitch (K).
You work every ST with a garter stitch.
So you have to follow that pattern till the end: the purl rows are odd numbers (1. row, 3rd row etc.) and the even rows are the garter stitch rows (2nd row, 4th row, 6th row and so on).

Fasten off, sew together and start stuffing while knitting.

Take the element No.1 and thread for tightening. Count 5 rows from the middle to the left and 5 rows to the right, find points A, B, C, D as it is shown in the pictures below. The points A and B, C and D should be stitches away from each other. On the reverse side of the element, find the middle, insert the crochet and output it at point A, grab one part of the thread and holding it output to the middle of the opposite side. Once again, insert the crochet in the middle of the element from below and output it at point B, grab the thread and holding it output to the middle of the opposite side. Repeat the same actions for points C and D.

Take the second part of the body and thread through it (through the middle) all four threads. In order to understand the process, see the pictures below.

Tie up two elements together, fix them tying threads into knot. In the bottom, we have hollows for legs, and on the top - a small hollow for the head.

Take the head and attach it as well as the second element, thread through the middle. Fix them tying knots.
