Stitchbloggers Julkalender Lucka 19 / Stitchbloggers Advent Calendar Day 19

Då har vi redan kommit till den 19 december! Min älskade, fina morfars födelsedag ❤ Ikväll är det jag som ska ta chokladkartongen i ena handen och en blomma i den andra och hälsa på mina underbara morföräldrar. Vem vet kanske bjuder mormor på sin goda tårta och lite hembakta kakor 😉

I can’t believe how time flies, it’s already December 19! My wonderful grandfathers birthday ❤ I’ll buy some chocolate and a pretty flower and visit him and my grandmother tonight. Perhaps they have some homemade cookies and cake for me 😉

Det svenska mönstret till min snögubbe finns hos tidningen LAND, ni kommer till mönstret här >>

You’ll find the english pattern for my snowman if you scroll down a bit.

❤ GOD JUL önskar AnnaVirkpanna ❤

Cut yarn, secure ends.

Take the two big circles, with the backsides towards eachother, crochet them together (partly) with sc in BACK LOOPS only.

When you have crocheted 44 sc (10 st left), take the two smaller circles (backsides towards eachother) and continue crocheting in the BACK LOOPS with sc on the small ones.

Crochet 32 sc around the smaller circles, end with a sl st in the first st on the big circles.

Optinal – put some filling in the parts. I like it when they are a bit stuffed.

Time to close the gap between the circles. One side at a time.

Sew in the FRONT LOOPS to make the seam as invincible as possible. Begin in the outer edge where the circles meet and sew across to the other end. Make sure you don’t go through to the other side of the snowman. When you reached the other end, pull the needle through one st to the other side and sew that side close too. If you want to put in some more filling make sure to do so before you close the gap.

Secure the ends.

Arms (brown, make 2)

Chain 11. Begin in the 2nd st from the hook and crochet 1 sc in each st. Turn.

6 sl st, ch 5, begin in 2nd st from the hook, crochet 4 sc, then continue with 4 sl st on the first ch.

Cut yarn and secure the ends on the outer part of the arm. Use the beginning yarn to attach the arms to the body. Sew in the loops on the edge of the body.

Secure and cut.

Hat (red and green)
