I have to go stand in the corner for what I first thought when I read this request :blush.

Who would want an anatomically correct snowman??? Do snowmen HAVE an anatomy? Should they? If they don't, where do snowflakes come from?

But trust EmpressBusyBee to have ALL the links at hand! And not one anatomically correct snowperson among them, lol!

lol Tiga.

Anyway, whatever number you start with, say 8 dc, or whatever, that's how many stitches you would add per round. So, you would go 8, 16, 24, etc. First round after the initial 8, you would do 2 in every stitch, then 2 in every other stitch, then 2 in every 3 stitch, etc. Until you have the size you want, then decrease the same way.

Oh Tiga!!!!:rofl :2snowman

Gerty- Tepperwear is right about the increasing and the decreasing, but you have to remember that when you have increased to the size of the circumference you want for your ball you have to work some rows evenly ....like maybe three or four, then you start to decrease.......:2snowman
