Fluffy little snowmen to hang on the Christmas tree: a soft white body of fancy yarn, bead eyes and buttons, a carrot nose and a long knitted scarf with tassels. Dress each one in a different hat – a top hat with a star, a bobble hat with a pompom or a hat with little ears and tassels – and make a whole colourful family.

• Knitting needles 3 mm (body and head), 2.5 mm (hats and scarves) and 2 mm (knitted nose, optional); a crochet hook.
• Black beads 6 mm for the eyes and black half beads 6–7 mm for the buttons (6 and 9 for three snowmen); ready-made plastic noses or knitted ones.
• Stuffing, transparent glue, a small cardboard circle (2 cm) for the top hat and golden cord (20–25 cm) to hang them.
• Optional: a foil star or button for the hat, a pompom maker and a brush to brush up the body.
