Create snowman prophets of doom inspired by Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes comic strip (March 8, 1993).

Materials:

  • Yarn: Worsted weight (I used Red Heart Solids, White approx. 1/5th of skein )
  • Hook: F/3.75mm (or whatever suits your fancy/fits the yarn)

Extras

  • Scrap of yarn or stitch marker for indicating beginning of Round (HIGHLY recommended)
  • Yarn needle and/or embroidery needle
  • Embroidery thread or yarn for features
  • Chenille stems (one orange and two brown or black) for the nose and arms
  • Toothpicks or skewers for signposts
  • Scissors, paper, marker, glue for the signs. I don’t recommend glue sticks, because they don’t hold the toothpick/skewer very well. * The ability to count, and the patience to sustain you through frogging because your round is off (Experience is a cruel teacher, although it doesn’t really matter. We’re making deformed snowmen, aren’t we?)
