\nCut a longtail, thread your needle and pull through the remaining stitches to finish off.
\nFold in half (right sides together) and sew the side seam leaving a gap at bottom for stuffing.
\nStuff quite firmly, you can place an optional circle of card approx. 3cm in the body before closing the final seam.\u00a0 This makes the snowman stand better but is optional. Finish the seam by gathering stitches around the edge of the remaining opening and pulling firmly to close. Shape the body lightly with your hands, it should look like the image below.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong> – Put the hat in place and sew the nose to the body. The hat just makes it easier for the placement of the nose and the arms in the next step.<\/p>\n

Arms<\/strong> \u2013 (shown in dark red)
\nCast on 4sts
\nWork 15 rows in stocking stitch and cast off Leaving longtail for sewing.
\nWrap around the pipe cleaner and seam the open edge.
\nNow push the uncovered end of the pipe cleaner through the body of the snowman. Use a knitting needle to push through first which helps make a gap so the pipe cleaner will go through. You can also use a large needle or bit of thread to pull through. Pull this through to where you knitted arm begins.
\nNow knit a second arm to wrap around the exposed pipe cleaner, seam this the same as the first. You may need to adjust the number of rows or cut the pipe cleaner here depending on the length of your pipe cleaners. See images below.<\/p>\n
