BROOM: W/B, (Bigger broom instructions are listed with smaller broom but in bold. I used both WW yarn for broom regardless of what I used for the snowman.
Smaller Broom (Worsted Weight)
Row 1: Ch11/Ch21 Sc in 2nd ch from hook, and each ch across. (10sc)/(20sc)
Rows 2-3/2-4: Ch1, turn, sc in each st across. (10sc)/(20sc) Fasten off after row 3/4, leaving a very long tail to sew closed & use for bristles.
BRISTLES: W/tail, fold lengthwise and sew closed. For bristles, (still using tail), Insert needle in edge thru both layers, keep a loop on finger, insert needle again, but pull through to ‘close” the loop, so it doesn’t pull through, repeat as many times as you want. Afterwards, wrap the yarn around the base of the bristles and broom, then weave in ends.
ARMS: Use pipe cleaners, and cut to your desired length, use smaller piece to wrap for fingers.
HAT: I used a foam sheet for my hat, it’s more stable than felt
EYES/NOSE/BUTTONS: Use buttons, felt, foam, or pom poms for eyes/buttons. Use a small piece of orange felt, or pom pom for nose.
My son, AJ, made this snowman in kindergarten, (he’s 18 now) I have displayed it every winter, and decided to make a crocheted version of it.
