Do you have friends who collect snowmen? This is the perfect ornament for them. It has a few steps... so bear with me! Start by wrapping small and medium styrofoam balls with white yarn. Glue the head and the body together after you have wrapped them. I always buy cheap yarn for projects like this...
To make the scarves, I braided together 12 strands of yarn and knotted each end.
The hat takes a little more work. Cast on 20, knitting 10 rows. Decrease 2 stitches on each side of the hat until you have 2 stitches yet. Add a big pompom on top with yarn left over from the scarves. If you don't knit, cut apart a baby sock and glue a pompom on top.
I actually love these without faces...
I added a black pompom eyes and an orange carrot nose to each.
I'm giving these to my preschool class.... shhhhh, it's a secret!
Ohhhhh those kiddos of yours are so lucky! They are just adorable!!!!!! ADORABLE!!!!!
