STAFF
With brown yarn and larger hook, ch 5 and slst in last ch. Sc in each st around for 12 inches, putting the pipe cleaner into the tube when comfortable. (I personally found it harder to slide the pipe cleaner in than crochet around the pipe cleaner.) Leave a long tail and sew end closed. Bend as shown below and sew a few sts at the bends, shown by the blue lines. Either sew to hand or leave free, whatever floats your boat.
FROSTDETAILS
With white embroidery floss or 2-ply separated from the worsted white yarn, embroidery ^frost’ onto the ends of the sleeves, neck of the sweater, and outer edge of the hood. You can get as fancy as you want with this, or leave it off altogether. Refer to assembly photos.
HAIR
You will make staggered straight stitches with the white yarn. The hair part on top of the head is not staggered. The yarn I used had a \*halo′ to it, which helped to fill in gaps. Refer to photos below.
FACE
If you do not have doll eyes, (as I did not) you can embroider the eyes. Sew eyes on to the face with black embroidery floss or one strand of black yarn, sew white highlight. Sew on a mischievous smile.
ASSEMBLY
Sew arms to body on Rnd 20. Stuff leg, but not at the top; flatten the end when you sew it. Sew legs to body base. Sew sweater hood to back of neck.
Now... Let's have some fun!
Please do not sell any Jack Frost you make, as he is a trademarked character of DreamWorks.
