    I
    love making my own Christmas decorations, it’s nice knowing
    that no one else will have anything quite like it in their own home.

    This small, but perfectly formed knitted snowman will make the
    perfect addition to your handmade Christmas decs, and his mini hat
    and scarf could even be matched to your chosen Christmas colours.
