Snowman and Snowflake Appliques

• Create three snowmen appliques using different colored scarves.
• Create 15 snowflakes.
• Attach the appliques onto one of the panels.

Adding French Knots

1. Materials:
   • White yarn.
   • Tapestry needle.
2. Steps:
   • Thread the needle with the white yarn.
   • From the back of the panel, bring the needle through to the front where you want the knot to be.
   • Wrap the yarn around the needle 4-5 times.
   • Pull the needle through and create a knot.
   • Insert the needle back into the fabric close to where it came out.
   • Tie off and trim the yarn.

Joining the Panels

1. Align the Panels:
   • Place the front panel (with appliques) on top of the back panel.
   • Use the blue yarn and 6.0 mm hook to join them together.
2. Joining:
   • Start at the bottom right corner.
   • Insert hook through both panels.
   • Chain 1, then make 3 SC in the corner.
   • SC through both panels evenly all the way around.
   • Remember to insert the pillow before closing the last edge.
3. Finishing:
   • Slip stitch to the first SC.
   • Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Adding the Bobble Border

1. Start the Border:
   • Attach the white yarn with a slip stitch on the side of the joined panels.
   • Chain 2.
2. First Bobble:
   • Yarn over, insert hook in the next stitch, yarn over, pull through two loops.
   • Repeat this 4 more times in the same stitch (you should have 6 loops on the hook).
   • Yarn over, pull through all 6 loops.
   • Single crochet (SC) in the next 2 stitches.
3. Continue:
   • Repeat the bobble and SC pattern (bobble, SC in next 2 stitches) all the way around.
   • Bobbles might push to the back, but just push them to the front as needed.
4. Finishing the Border:
