This pattern is just an easy starting place - you will find it is very easy to make changes.
Some people find it easier to add the face AFTER the snowman has been stuffed.
You might like to add a little cord if your snowman is to be a hanging decoration.

But I also know that some of you like to plan ahead ........ ;)
