Hint: I secured my hat with a single stitch so it doesn't fall off when my grandkids are snuggling my snowman.  You may chose to leave it unsecure so you can easily switch out his hat and/or scarf. 

Ta - da!  You've finished your snuggly snowman!  I hope he brings as much fun to your holidays as mine has!  Enjoy!
