Frosty
friends
Take a day off from the frantic festive flurry
to sit back and stitch this happy snowman
and his thoughtful robin pals
W
hen a magical
snowman
needs help
getting dressed on a snowy
afternoon, his robin friends
are more than happy to help.
Join in the fun when you stitch
these cute characters using
whole stitches, fractionals,
backstitch and French knots.
We love the textured details
of the snowman’s hat and
scarf, plus the subtle shading
throughout the scene – it
makes it easy to get lost in this
winter wonderland. Cuddle
up on the sofa and stitch this
hoop for a buddy of your own
to warm their heart in the
colder months.
