[Nfb-krafters-korner] herb craft and bake sale

[Zimmer, Cindy]

5-8 small buttons depending on how you choose to use them: eyes, mouth, front of snowman.
The i-chord is for the scarf.   You could use a chain, but it is not as wide as a scarf looks.  I used a 5 peg loom and made my scarf and the width is nice.  The same color will be used for the hat on the snowman.  Deep rich colors look nice.  I used evergreen because that is what I had on hand.  I think red, maroon, Navy colors would also look great.

The snowman is about 8 1/2 inches tall.

Cindy, will the yarn be worsted weight?
About how many buttons will we need?
What will the I cord be used for (in order to decide on color)
About how big will the snowman be?
