Design
1. When knitting the body in the 11th row, we knitted 30 sbn for the back walls. Now we introduce the red color behind the front wall and knit two rows of 30 sbn each. Then we change to Softy Alize and knit two rows of 30 sbn each.
2. When knitting handles, in the 6th row we knitted 6 sbn for the back loops.
Now we enter Softy Alize behind the front wall and in each we make a pr from sbn (12), the second row is simply knitted 12 sbn.
3. Sew the pom-pom to the cap.
4. Sew the cap to the head. I fold the long part of the cap and sew it to the head.
5. We make a beard from Softy Alize, two stitches in each column (to make it thicker).
6. Draw the cheeks.
7. We embroider the eyebrows.
Your New Year’s friend is ready!
