Scarfy the Snowman Hat
Scarfy is a cute snowman who is bundled up in his warm, cozy scarf! He is also wearing his holiday finest: holly and a jingle bell. Scarfy comes in 5 sizes from child through adult. It was knit in worsted.

I use an abbreviation in the pattern (in the holly leaves instruction) that I made up. It might be confusing, so I created a very short video to walk you through the method used. It is called Scarfy YRP Demonstration. The updated pattern also includes this link.
