FINISHING

Use the matching thread or yarn for all of the seaming. I used the whip stitch to create sturdy seams.

Lay 1 front panel on top of the back panel. Make sure the front panel has the edge with the decrease towards the top center of the back panel to make room for the neck. Sew the front and back panels together creating the shoulder seam. The seam will be about 3.5 in (9 cm). Repeat with the other front panel.

Flip the front panels off the back panel so the design is completely flat. Find the center stitch along the beginning chain of one sleeve. Match the center stitch up to the outer edge of the shoulder seam. Sew the sleeve onto the outer edge of the back and front panel. Repeat with the other sleeve.

Flip the front panels back on top of the back panel and fold the sleeve panels in half. Starting at the cuff of one sleeve, sew the underarm of the sleeve together. Continue sewing down the outer edge of the front and back panel to create the side seam. Sew the bottom of the front panels to the bottom of the back panel to close the end of the snowsuit. Repeat for the other side.

Starting at the bottom, sew the inner edges of the 2 front panels together. The seam should measure 6 in. (15 cm) from the bottom. Leave the top remainder of the panels open.

HOOD

Add the yarn to the top corner of the left front panel.

Row 1: ch 1, evenly sc 10 (11) sts around the top edge of the left front panel, back panel, and top edge of the right front panel, turn. 10 (11) sts

Row 2: ch 1, 1 sc in each st across, turn. 10 (11) sts

Repeat row 2 until the hood measures 8 (9) in. (20 (23) cm)

Cut the yarn.

Bring the top 2 corners of the hood together. Using the matching thread, sew this top seam together.

EARS (make 2)

ch 2

Work 5 sc in second ch from hook.

Pull the beginning tail of yarn to tighten the center of the half circle.

Cut the yarn.

Sew the flat bottom edge of the ear onto the hood. Repeat for the other ear.

Sew 6 buttons, spaced evenly, onto the inner edge of the right front panel.

Weave in yarn ends.

You are finished!
