How to assemble your Lil’ Loops Snowman Free Crochet Pattern

Sewing Placement – I highly recommend pinning ALL parts of your Lil’ Loops Snowman in place BEFORE sewing to make sure everything sits properly and is to your liking 🙂

Hat:   Place the hat on top of the head, tilted to one side.  Stuff lightly if desired, Sew in place.

Bow:   Place on hat and sew down.

Nose:  Using approx 18” of Gold Dust thread the needle.  Working in between the eyes.  Insert your needle on an angle 2 rounds down from the inner portion of the left eye and out near the bottom inner corner of the right eye .  Repeat through the same set of holes 6-8 times.

Eyes: If needed, embroider on sleepy eyes.  See video: Sleepy Eyes – https://youtu.be/4kO0XAkXMGo

Scarf:   Place and tie in place around the neck.
