Many people associate winter and New Year withsnowmen. As soon as the required amount of snow falls, the children begin to build a snowman in the yards, but as soon as it gets warmer, the snowman begins to melt. A snowman can be made not only from snow. Needlewomen make a snowman from various available materials: polymer clay, fabric, plasticine, yarn and other materials. This snowman will delight children all year round. In addition, you can play with a snowman made of yarn; it is soft and will not break if suddenly a child does not hold it in his hands. This snowman is crocheted using the appropriate knitting threads. I fill the parts for the snowman with foam rubber, which I first cut into small pieces. Instead of foam rubber, you can take padding polyester or holofiber fibers. List of necessary materials for making the “Bonya” snowman:

Blue thread for knitting.

Red thread for knitting.

White thread for knitting.

Orange thread for knitting.

Hook No. 2,5-3.

Eyes.

Foam (thickness 1cm).

Glue

Scissors

We will crochet a snowman using crochet no. 2.5-3.What needs to be knitted: a torso with blue pants, a head, hands with mittens, boots, a hat with a bubo, a nose in the shape of a carrot, a scarf. Each individual part has its own numbering. It is logical to start knitting a toy from the body or head, since it is based on these main details that we will select the size of the remaining small parts. The body for the snowman consists of two colors: blue and white. The snowman will be wearing pants, so we start knitting with them. Make a chain of 5 air loops, connect the first and last loops of the chain, you get a closed ring. Tie this ring in a circle (2nd row). Next you need to do this: knit two loops, and thread the hook into the third loop twice. Thus, from the third loop you will get two loops, then knit two loops again and knit from one loop – two loops. Rows are knitted according to this pattern: 3,4,5,6. Row No. 7,8,9, you just need to tie it without introducing additional loops.The base for the panties is ready, you can put the white thread into work and continue knitting. In the 10th row, the loops need to be hooked on the inside so that the blue part is slightly convex.The part is expanded to the required size, so the rowsNos. 11,12,13,14,15 and 16 simply need to be tied without introducing additional loops. From the 17th row you need to decrease several loops, so you need to knit two loops, then thread the hook into the next loop, then into another one, and pull the thread through these three cast-on loops. Then knit two stitches again and shorten, alternating until the 17th row is completed. Thus, the loops decrease. The 18th row just needs to be knitted without introducing additional loops. But in rows No. 19, 20, 21, also decrease the loops, but after one loop, so that the part narrows more. Cut the foam rubber into small pieces and fill the part with it. And then in rows 22 and 23 make a reduction in each stitch. The white thread is well secured and cut. Crochet into the piece so that it is not visible. The head for the snowman is knitted only from white threads. The head is round, so you can knit it both from below and from above. So, crochet a chain of four air loops, connect the first and last loop. Tie a closed ring in a circle (2nd row). The 3rd row is knitted like this: knit two loops, and thread the hook into the third loop twice. Thus, from the third loop you will get two loops, then knit two loops again and knit from one loop – two loops. The 4th row just needs to be knitted without introducing or removing additional loops. In the 5th row, knit two loops, and thread the hook into the third loop twice. Thus, from the third loop you will get two loops, then knit two loops again and knit from one loop – two loops. Rows No. 6,7,8,9 and 10 simply need to be knitted without introducing or removing additional loops. In the 11th row you need to decrease a few loops, so you need to knit two loops, then thread the hook through the next loop, then into another, and pull the thread through these three cast-on loops. Then knit two stitches again and make a reduction, alternating until this row is completed. In row 12, decrease stitches in every 2nd stitch. Fill your head with pieces of foam rubber. In the 13th row, make a reduction in each loop and fasten the thread well, cut it, and crochet it inside the part. The body with pants and the head for the snowman are ready. Now using these basic parts you can knit the following parts.Let's start knitting handles with mittens.For this you will need red and white knitting threads. It is advisable to start knitting with mittens. So, take a red thread and make a chain of 4 loops, connect the first and last loop, tie in a circle – this will already be the 2nd row. In the 3rd row, add one stitch and knit this row in a circle. The 4th row just needs to be knitted without introducing or removing additional loops. The 5th row also needs to be simply knitted without introducing or removing additional loops, but here you need to knit the thumb. The thumb is knitted with a chain of 6 loops, then this chain is threaded into the adjacent loop and then knitting continues in the round. Rows No. 6 and 7 simply need to be knitted without introducing or removing additional loops. The 8th row is knitted with white thread. Fill the red mitten with foam rubber and continue knitting.White thread needs to be knitted 9, 10, 11, 12and 13 rows. As you knit, you need to fill your hands with foam rubber. Then in the 14th row you need to decrease a few loops, so you need to knit two loops, then thread the hook through the next loop, then into another, and pull the thread through these three cast-on loops. Then knit two stitches again and make a reduction, alternating until the end of this row.In the 15th row, cut all the loops and tighten the thread.Cut the thread with scissors and hide with a crochet hook. One handle with a mitten is ready, you also need to knit the second hand, but the thumb on the mitten should be located in a mirror image. Using glue, attach the finished handles to the snowman's body.For the snowman's head you need to knit a New Year'sa hat with a bubo. You will need white and red thread and a hook. We will knit the hat by expanding it towards the bottom. Therefore, first you need to cast on a chain of 5 air loops, connect the first and last loop. Tie a closed ring in a circle (2nd row). Then knit two loops in rows 3 and 4, and thread the hook through the third loop twice. Thus, from the third loop you will get two loops, then knit two loops again and knit from one loop – two loops. The 5th row just needs to be knitted without introducing or removing additional loops, but with white knitting thread. This will create a white stripe on the snowman's cap.And knit the 6th row in the same way as the 5th row, but alreadyred thread. In row 7 – knit two loops, and thread the hook into the third loop twice. Thus, from the third loop you will get two loops, then knit two loops again and knit from one loop – two loops. In the 8th row you just need to knit without introducing or removing additional loops, but with white knitting thread. Row 9 (red thread) – knit two loops, and thread the hook into the third loop twice. Thus, from the third loop you will get two loops, then knit two loops again and knit from one loop – two loops. The 10th row just needs to be knitted without introducing or removing additional loops. The bubo for the cap is very simple to make. We take a white thread and wrap it around our finger; I find it convenient to wrap it around my index finger. There are 10-15 windings. When you have wound the thread, you need to carefully remove it from your finger and tie it in the middle. We take scissors and cut the resulting curls so that the bubo becomes fluffy.Glue the bubo to the cap and fill it with pieces of foam rubber.Now you need to knit boots for the snowman.The boots can be knitted in any color; I knitted them with white thread. First you need to cast on a chain of 5 air loops, connect the first and last loops into a closed ring. The 2nd row just needs to be knitted without introducing or removing additional loops. In the 3rd and 4th rows, knit two loops, and thread the hook into the third loop twice. Thus, from the third loop you will get two loops, then knit two loops again and knit from one loop – two loops. From the 5th to the 7th rows: knit without introducing or removing additional loops. But in the 8th row you need to cut the loops in every 4th loop of the row. Row 9 – knit two loops, and thread the hook into the third loop twice. Thus, from the third loop you will get two loops, then knit two loops again and knit from one loop – two loops. Row 10 – you just need to tie it without introducing or removing additional loops. Rows 11 and 12 are worked by cutting stitches. When the part is completely completed, you can cut the thread and put it inside. Using the same sequence of rows you need to knit the second boot for the snowman.The main part of the panties is tied, but is missingsmall parts: buttons and straps. Buttons are knitted very simply: it is a ring of 5 air loops. You need to knit two of these buttons from blue yarn. The strap is knitted like this: crochet a chain of 16 loops and knit it in the opposite direction. One strap is ready, you also need to knit the second strap.The nose for the snowman is knitted as follows:you need to make a chain of 3 loops, connect the first and last loops, and tie in a circle to the desired spout size. And then at the very end of the part, cut a couple of loops so that the nose is shaped like a carrot. Fill the spout with foam rubber.All that remains is to knit a scarf for the snowman, and you canwill begin gluing the parts. For the scarf, a chain of red yarn is made from 4 loops, which is then tied on one side to the desired length of the scarf. The length of my scarf is 19 cm. Cut the blue thread into small pieces and tie them to the edges of the scarf. The body with pants and arms have already been glued, so you need to glue the buttons, straps, and then the head first. Glue on boots and a hat with a pompom.Place eyes and nose on glue. Glue the red thread in the shape of a smile.The height of this snowman is about 18 cm– good toy for a child. If you knit the parts in half the size, you will get a Christmas tree toy in the shape of a snowman. Snowman "Bonya" ready for the main children's holiday – Happy New Year!
