Supplies to Get Started
To make this little crochet snowman, you will need a 2 mm crochet hook, a bit of polyester filling (yarn scraps will do too!), and fine yarn.
The pattern doesn’t specify the specific brand, but cotton or semi-cotton yarn in fingering weight, like Scheepjes Catona or YarnArt Begonia, makes a great option.
If you want to achieve the same delicious look for your snowman amigurumi, choose white, beige, brown, red, and orange colors. The required yarn amounts are very small, so any leftover strands will come in handy.
Prepare also 6 mm safety eyes – 5 in total for eyes and buttons, or go for embroidery ones!
Stitch Techniques You’ll Use in This Project
This little crochet snowman pattern involves simple amigurumi techniques and will be easy to handle even for those with basic experience.
The head and body are worked in one piece using single crochet, increasing and decreasing. Once done, you make the ice cream cone and then finish it off with tasty details like chocolate and cherry topping and a cute carrot nose.
What Size Does the Finished Snowman Measure?
The size of your snowman amigurumi will depend on the materials used. However, if you work it with the same hook and yarn, the finished piece should be about 6.3” (16 cm) tall.
