Pattern notes: Snowman head, body nose and hat are all made in a continuous spiral, NO JOINING, you will place a stitch marker in the last st of each round. You need to start stuffing the snowman body at Rnd 32 using the fibre fill, stuff so you leave a hole in the middle, add the product you purchased for adding weight, add more fibre fill on top. Before sewing hat onto head stuff first. You will use 2 strands of brown yarn to make twig arms sturdier.
