This tall, thin snowman will keep the cold air out and the holiday fun in. The top hat, scarf, face, and body are knitted stripes. The eyes, mouth, nose, and buttons are embroidered. After embroidering, sew one end closed, fill with lentils and sew the other end closed.

Sized to lay the length of the average exterior door, you can easily make it shorter for an interior door or windowsill.
