A snowman face with a grey top hat, a black hat band, big black eyes, a red nose and a wavy black smile on a white background, with three small stars. The blanket is 30 stitches wide and 52 rows long, in 6 colors of very chunky yarn.
Follow the chart row by row from the top. The written rows and the stitch-by-stitch guide below list every run of stitches with its color.
Close up of the stitches
Very thick chenille yarn makes every stitch a soft loop. This close-up shows the red nose area, where red, black and white meet.
The finished blanket flat
Seen from above, the grey hat, the black hat band, the eyes, the nose and the three small stars sit where the chart shows them.
On the sofa
A chunky blanket also works as a throw: the snowman face stays clearly visible when it is draped over a sofa.
