Remember how fun it was to ride when you were a kid?huge snow globes and sculpt snowmen out of them, and then paint them with watercolors? With this master class, I invite you to return to childhood and knit a cute snowman Styopa. This is not an ordinary snowman, he – postman. You need to put a letter in his purse with his cherished wish written on it. And he will deliver it to Santa Claus. And the wish will certainly come true. Don't believe me? Let's try it together.For knitting we will need:

white and blue acrylic threads. (50 g - 80 m.);
orange threads "Iris" – for a carrot nose;
blue and red thread for embroidery of the mouth and eyes;
hooks No. 1 and 4;
a needle with a large eye;
sintepon or cotton wool;
fork;
two buttons;
letter with desire.

We will knit our snowman in the easiest wayway – columns in which there are no double crochets. And it will consist of 5 balls of different sizes. The beginning of all lump balls will be the same. It consists of a chain connected into a ring. In the chain – 4 air loops.Now we need to double the number of loops. To do this, we will knit 8 columns into an initial ring.On the third row we will double the number of stitches again. From each column we will again knit a pair – in total we get 16 columns in a row.We won’t need such strong increases in the future.In the fourth row we will only increase the quantity by half. To do this, we will knit one stitch from the first column, and from the second – two. And so on down the row – We will knit one from each odd column, and from each even one – two columns. There should be 24 columns in total.In the next row we will skip two columns each – that is, we knit like this – a column, a column and two columns from one. There will be a total of 32 loops in the row.Then we further reduce the number of increments.In this row we will skip 3 columns, and in every fourth we will knit a pair of columns. 40 columns in a row. In the next row we will skip 4 columns, making an increase every fifth. 48 columns. By now you should get a nice tight even circle.In the next row we will increase the number of loops to 54. To do this, we will make increases again, skipping 5 stitches each, and knitting two in the sixth row. Let's knit a row without increments – repeat 54 loops again.The next row will be the last row with increases. It will have 60 loops. To do this, we will make 2 columns in every eighth column of the bottom row.60 loops – this is the base for the largest, lower ball.Next we will knit another 9 rows (10 in total) without changing the number of stitches in the row. After about 3-5 rows, a “cup” will begin to form.With each row it will become deeper and deeper.This is what the knit should look like when folded in half.We knitted all 10 rows without decreases or increases.When folded in half, the knitting should resemble a semicircle.Now the loops will decrease. We will do this in exactly the same way as we added. This is necessary to ensure that the balls are as round as possible.In the first row, which will contain decreases, we will knit 8 and 9 loops together. There should be 54 stitches at the end of the row. For the next row we do not change the quantity again, we knit 54 stitches again.It is better to do the decrease like this:insert the hook into the 8th loop and pull out the working thread. After this, without finishing the stitch, you need to insert the hook into the 9th stitch, pull the thread again and now knit both stitches together.In the next row we knit stitches 6 and 7 together.There should be 48 loops. Then 5 and 6 – There are already 40 loops in the row.Further 4 and 5 – there will be 32 loops in the row, 3 and 4 – 24 loops.Now you should fill the ball with cotton wool or padding polyester.And let's continue knitting – 2 and 3 – Thisalready 16 loops. Then we make reductions constantly – 1 and 2 – 16 loops. First and second again – 8 loops. And once again we make decreases by tying together 1 and 2 loops – we get 4 loops.On the last row we knit all 4 loops together.Let's finish knitting. Pull and cut the thread.We will hide the thread inside our snow ball. To do this, pierce the ball somewhere below or on the side with a hook and pull the thread inside. The excess can be cut off.The first ball is ready.Next we will knit the second ball.It will be blue. We knit it in the same way as the first, largest ball. That is, we knit 4 chain stitches, 8 stitches, 16, 24, 32, 48, 48 and 54. We stop at 54 stitches. And we knit another 7 rows of 54 loops (8 in total). Then we start decreasing. We knit together 6 and 7 loops – we get 48 loops. We make two rows of 48 loops.5 and 6 – 40 loops, 4 and 5 – 32 loops, 3 and 4 – 24 loops. Let's start filling our ball.We knit together 2 and 3 – get 16 loops. Then we knit all the columns together in pairs – 8 loops, 4 loops in a row. We finish the same way as the first ball.Next we knit a white ball – this is the head of a snowman. Let's start taking it the same way. 4 loops, 8 stitches, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 stitches. We stop the increases. We will knit 8 rows (total) of 48 stitches.And then we make reductions – Let's knit stitch 5 and 6 together – 40 loops. 4 and 5 – 32 loops.We stuff our head with cotton wool. We knit with decreases – 3 and 4 loops, we get 24 loops.Then we continue to knit, decreasing loops, 2 and 3 together – we get 16 loops. 1 and 2 – eight, again 1 and 2 — 4 loops.We finish in the same way as the previous two balls. Three balls for the snowman's body are ready.Now we knit a cap on Stepa’s head. To do this, we will cast on 48 loops (the maximum width of the snowman's head). Connect the first and last loops.We will knit the cap in a spiral, gradually decreasing the loops. To add a pattern to the cap, we will knit all the columns only on one wall (the back).First row – 48 columns.Second row – tie together 11 and 12 loops – we get 44 loops in a row. In the third row – Let's knit stitches 10 and 11 together – we get 40 loops. Then – 9 and 10 – There will already be 36 loops in the row. Let's try the cap on the snowman's head.Let's knit 8 and 9 together – we get 32 loops in a row. Let's knit another row of 32 loops – no reductions. Then we decrease by knitting together 15 and 16 loops, 31 and 32 – we get 30 loops in a row.Now we will reduce it like this – in every row2 loops each. But in order to ensure that the decreases are not constantly in the same place (this will be noticeable and not very beautiful), we will shift them. To get 28 loops in the next row, knit together 4 and 5, and then 18 and 19. For 26 loops – 6 and 7, 20 and 21. In the next row – 12 and 13, 25 and 26 – we get 24 loops.Then we knit the same way, making 2 decreases per row.We knit together 3 and 4, 14 and 15 = 22 loops. 5 and 6, 15 and 16 – we get 20 loops. 9 and 10, 19 and 20 – we get 18 loops. Let's tie together 3 and 4, 11 and 12 – let's go to 16 loops. 5 and 6, 12 and 13 – 14 loops.Then we knit in the same way with decreases until there are 4 loops left.We will knit them all together – our cap is almost ready.Now let's decorate it. To do this we will make a small pompom. It is very convenient to use a regular table fork for this. Let's make several skeins around the fork.Tie it in the middle with thread.Remove from fork and cut on sides – it will turn out to be a small pompom.We tie it to the cap with the same thread that was used to tie the middle.Now let's tie the hands of the snowman. We begin to knit in the same way as the previous balls. 4 loops, 8 stitches, 16 and 5 rows of 24 loops. Then 16 again.We stuff 8 loops, 4 and finish. You need to knit 2 of these balls.Now it’s time to work on the carrot nose. For this, we will use a thin orange thread to collect 8 loops and connect them into a ring.Next we will knit 3 rows with columns without decreases or increases.And then we will make reductions – 2 on each row until 2 stitches remain. Let's knit them together. The spout is ready.Sew the nose to the head while stuffing it with cotton wool.Let's hide the thread in the nose.Let's embroider the eyes and mouth of our snowman.Now let's put everything together. Let's sew the second one to the first ball, and to the second one – third. We will sew handles on the sides of the middle ball.Let's decorate our snowman by embroidering snowflakes on his jacket (blue ball) and hat. And let's sew on the buttons.Now let's put on the bag and send it to Santa Claus.We knit the bag as a rectangle of 10 air loops at the base and 20 turning rows. Then we sew the bag on both sides. We tie a handle from air loops.
