   • Total: 24 sc.
   • Sl st to join.
5. Rounds 4–6:
   • Ch 1, work 1 sc in each st around (no increases).
   • Total: 24 sc per round.
   • Sl st to join.
6. Rounds 7–9:
   • Begin decreasing to form a sphere shape.
   • For each round: sc 1, dec.
   • Continue decreasing evenly until the top closes slightly but leaves enough room for stuffing.
7. Stuff the Head:
   • Use pillow stuffing or fiberfill to firmly stuff the head as the opening gets smaller.
8. Final Round:
   • Dec every st until the opening closes.
   • Cut the yarn, pull through the last loop, and weave in the ends.

Larger Sphere (Body):

1. Follow steps 1–6 of the smaller sphere but add one additional expansion round in the middle (e.g., Round 4 will include a [2 sc, inc] repeat).
2. Make the body larger: Continue expanding evenly for an additional 1–2 rounds to create a bigger sphere.
3. Stuff and Close the Body following steps 7–8 of the smaller sphere.

Froggy Beanie (Optional Accessory)

1. Create Half Sphere:
   • Follow the steps to create the smaller sphere, but stop after 6–7 rounds.
   • The half-sphere should curve slightly to sit neatly on the snowman’s head.
2. Frog Eyes (Optional):
   • Make two small circles:
     • Green layer: Work 2 rounds (magic ring + 1 round of sc inc) in green yarn.
     • White layer: Work 1 round of sc in white yarn slightly smaller than the green base.
   • Attach the white circle to the green circle to form the whites of the eyes. Hot glue or sew them onto the beanie.
3. Finish Eyes:
   • Cut small black felt circles for pupils and glue them onto the center of the white part. Position the eyes laterally on the frog hat.

Scarf

1. Twirl Yarn:
   • Take red and white yarn. Tie them together at one end.
   • Twist the two strands together until taut, then allow them to loop naturally to form a double-layered twirl.
   • Tie a knot at the other end and trim the edges.
2. Finish Edges:
   • Unravel the yarn tips with a crochet hook to add frayed ends for texture.
3. Attach:
   • Tie or glue the scarf securely around the snowman’s neck.

Arms and Buttons

1. Arms:
   • Take two brown pipe cleaners and shape them into a Y-shape for each arm.
   • Attach them to the sides of the body near the neck using hot glue or sew them securely.
2. Buttons:
   • Use teal polymer clay or small felt circles for buttons.
   • Attach them vertically down the front of the body.

Details

• Add Eyes: Insert safety eyes or glue/sew small black felt circles onto the head for facial features.
• Smile: Use red thread or yarn to sew or glue a small smile onto the snowman.
• Cheeks: Dab light pink eyeshadow/blush underneath the eyes for a rosy effect.

Customization Ideas

• Add a Santa hat or reindeer antlers instead of the froggy beanie for a festive twist.
• Play with yarn colors to dress your snowman in unique outfits for different themes.
