Note: Rounds 6-7 are missing from the original numbering. Round 41 also contains a discrepancy between the number of repeats and the final stitch count. The instructions have been preserved as shown in the image.

Scarf

The scarf is made as a 3-stitch i-cord, alternating white and red. The finished scarf is 16 in (40 cm) long.

You can crochet the scarf in turned rows, working a ch-1 at the beginning of each row. Start with white:

1. Ch 3, starting in the second ch from the hook: 2 sc
2. 2 sc
Switch to red:
3. 2 sc (2 rows)
Switch to white:
4. 2 sc (2 rows)

Continue alternating 2 red rows and 2 white rows until the scarf reaches the desired length.

Assembling the Snowman

Sew the nose to the head, placing it 8 rounds below the top.

Sew the eyes in place level with the nose. I used black seed beads for the eyes.

Embroider the eyebrows and mouth with thin cotton thread. Add blush to the cheeks.

Put the hat and scarf on the snowman.
