MATERIALS AND TOOLS:

•    Yarn – I used YarnArt “Baby” (100% acrylic, 150 m / 50 g), worked with 2 strands: 1.5 skeins white (main colour), 0.5 skein red (hat and clothing) and a little orange (nose). You can use any smooth yarn (acrylic, wool, etc.).

•    Fluffy yarn for the hat trim – I used Alize “Softy” (115 m / 50 g) in white.

•    Crochet hooks – 1.5 mm and 2.75 mm.

•    Half beads 8 mm for the eyes (other sizes are fine) and super glue.

•    12 sewing pins and buttons (or other embellishments) for the snowman.

•    Optional: an orange pencil for tinting the face.

•    A little stuffing for the face details and a long tapestry needle.
