close-up
Durene has added careful
detail to the snowman’s
face to give him a friendly
look. His cheeks have a
gentle blush in pale pink
stranded cotton and his
smiling eyes are made
from two long stitches.
Best of all, his beaming
smile is created from
seven neat French knots in black thread – for
more on how to do these stitches, see page 131.
