Now my grandchildren have gone back to school after the long summer break, thoughts turn to Christmas. What could be nicer than a lovely snuggly snowman to cuddle up to in the coming cold winter nights?

Snuggle the Snowman stands at 13 inches/34cms (Aran weight) or 10 inches/26 cms (Double Knit weight). He/she has boots and mittens knitted on and there is a choice of earflap hat and sweater or bobble beanie and scarf. Have fun choosing your own colour combinations.

Snuggles is knitted flat and assembled, full assembly guide is included in this pattern. To save your ink it is a good idea to download and save the assembly guide and view on screen as and when necessary. Snuggles feet, legs and body is knitted in one piece. His arms and head are knitted separately and sewn on.
