This is the ninth in a series of 24 linked patterns, published daily in December 2014, to decorate a knitted Gingerbread House. The pattern for the house itself is published separately.

The snowman is built against the side of the Gingerbread House and is stuffed to make him nice and fat. He has bead buttons and a cosy scarf and is knitted in cream DK weight yarn. You will also need some dark grey yarn for his hat and a little thin 4 ply for his scarf.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
