With this pattern you can create at least six different holiday-themed inside-out toys!

What do you need? Scraps of any yarn, DK or Worsted, merino or cotton will work. If you want to knit a toy for a toddler, you might like to use a washable yarn. You will need approximately 50 yards of yarn altogether for one inside-out toy. Mainly three typical holiday colors are needed (I’d suggest red, green and white). You will also need a bit of fiberfill for Frosty and Santa, and a yard each of some other colors for a top hat , charcoal buttons, carrot noses and other details.

But you can decide which combination you would like to try. Maybe Santa in a Christmas tree or Frosty in a present box? Why not a snowman that turns into Santa? It’s your choice. Make this toy your own!

What skills are required to knit this toy? You need to be comfortable using double pointed needles. Otherwise the making of this toy requires skills like knit, purl, increase, decrease, simple colorwork for the present and the tree, and short rows for Santa and Frosty. If you choose to give the snowman a top hat, which is only one option, a simple crochet stitch is called for. You will also need to embroider facial features if you go for Santa or Frosty.

Happy Holidays!
