This is the pattern for the  simplest version of my machine knitted snowman pattern in a start to finish knit-along. This version is for any standard gauge machine. It may actually be used on mid-gauge and bulky machines with appropriate yarn. The resulting snowman will simply be larger. The entire pattern includes mutliple gauges and instructions for many kinds of machines.

The SWANKY SNOWMAN version has some shaping and cables. The entire thing is part of my Mostly Classic Cables, which is a book for machine knitters with a cable encyclopedia plus many patterns that achieve traditional cables on knitting machines. It's available in my Ravelry store here:

Fellow vintage machine enthusiasts will enjoy the fact that this demo occurs on a Brother 8 button machine from the 1960s. The snowman as given here is about 7.5" tall excluding his hat.
