If you still have not decided what kind of gift to give a person, then give him a snowman knitted with your own hands. Such a gift is quite easy to make if you have the threads and knitting needles of the required color. In addition, a gift in the form of a snowman is suitable for both a kid and an adult. Moreover, tying a snowman is quite easy, and it requires very little money. A couple of these snowmen can be used as a souvenir for the New Year or Christmas holidays.
Instructions
Step 1
The general process of knitting such a product seems to be quite quick and simple. For such work, you will need ordinary knitting needles, multi-colored shades of thread, a toy filler in the form of cotton wool and a needle. In order for your future snowman to stand quite steadily, a paper circle is inserted in the form of a base for the snowman in the middle. The subsequent knitting of a snowman begins from the center of the circle. You need to dial 12 loops, then start a new row in which the number of all loops must be doubled. Having thus knitted 7 rows on the front side of the snowman, you need to pull off the resulting product and sew the entire part to the end, not forgetting to insert a cardboard circle.
Step 2
The head and neck must be knitted in the same way, only on the front side of them knit not 7, but as many as 14 rows of threads. After that, you can begin to shape the neck and arms with legs for the future snowman. As soon as all parts of the body of the future doll are ready, you can begin to tighten the head and body with one thread, and gradually stuff it with cotton wool. The face of your snowman can be made with beads, or can also be tied with clasps and small buttons.
Step 3
You can also knit various accessories for the snowman, such as a hat. The total number of loops for such a hat should fully correspond to the circumference of the entire head of your snowman. Start knitting first with white thread, and then you can switch to other colors. As soon as the required number of rows for the hat is connected, you can pull off and sew the resulting hat. In general, tying a snowman and the necessary accessories to it is not so difficult. The main thing is to spend a little time and perseverance, as well as put all your love into the future product.
