ch – chain
sl st – slip stitch
st(s) – stitch(es)
f/o – finish off
Pattern Notes:
- All parts of this snowman, aside from the scarf, are worked in continuous rounds. You will not slip stitch at the end of each round, so it is highly recommended that you use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of contrasting color of yarn to put into the last stitch of each round.
- The invisible decrease (inv dec) is simply a single crochet 2 stitches together done only in the front loops without a yarn over between. If you’d rather just do a simple decrease, you are welcome to, but it will be noticable.
- Ch 1 does NOT equal a stitch.
- It’s important to count the rows, so a row counter is highly recommended.
- Follow the following guide for how number of stitches is communicated:
- The number before the stitch is the amount of times worked in one stitch
- The number after the stitch is the number of stitches you are to work that specific stitch into.
- When stitches are surrounded by asterisks (*), you are to repeat what is between the asterisks the amount of times stated.
- Number in parentheses is the number of stitches in each round.
- Eg. “*2sc, sc 4* 6 times (36)” means “2 single crochets in first stitches, single crochet once in next 4 stitches. Repeat this pattern 6 times. (There are 36 stitches in this round.)
