Stuffed Snowman Decor Materials:
Pattern:
1 skein 'I Love This Yarn' in White Sparkle yarn Scrap amounts of black and carrot/orange yarn 'I' hook and'F' hook large, plastic sewing/craft needle 3 waste/old compact discs Finished size: approx. 9" Notes: sc = single crochet; dc = double crochet; dec = decrease; slst = slip stitch; blo = back loops only; rep = repeat CDs are used to create a solid, flat bottom but also to provide a weight to hold the snowman upright.
