Tips for Making and Customizing this Snowman Crochet Pattern

  • Matching the exact gauge in the pattern isn’t required for your snowman to turn out, but keep in mind, that it may mean you use a different amount of yarn and your toy may be a different size

  • Make sure to check the number of stitches you have at the end of each round and that they match the count given at the end of each round in the pattern.

  • Don’t overstuff your little snowman – If you overstuff your toy, it will stretch out the fabric.

  • Give your cute mini snowman a little mouth with some black embroidery thread or black yarn if you’d like.

  • Add cheeks using embroidery and some pink yarn or embroidery thread

  • Your amigurumi fabric should not have any holes in it before you start stuffing. If you have holes in your fabric, try going down a hook size or two until you have a tight fabric that stuffing cannot show through.

  • While we’re mostly using just single crochet stitches, I recommend that amigurumi beginners check out the step-by-step video tutorial, especially if you’re not used to reading crochet patterns or making no-sew amigurumi projects

  • If you struggling to make an adjustable ring / magic circle, check out my tutorial (linked in the abbreviations below) or substitute a CH 2 for the magic circle and work all your stitches from round 1 into the 2nd CH from the hook.

 Terminology:

Supplies for Mini Snowman:

Abbreviations:
(Click links to view tutorials for that stitch)

Special Stitches and Techniques:

  • Yarn Under Single Crochet: Insert hook into indicated stitch, yarn under hook and pull up a loop (2 loops on your hook), yarn over hook and pull through both loops on your hook.
     
     

Finished Size: 

  • Mini Snowman: Approx. 4” tall when crocheted to gauge.

Gauge: 

  • Mini Snowman: Rounds 1 – 4 = 1.5” across at the widest point.

Notes: 

  • Gauge is not vital to the toy, but not matching gauge will affect the size of your finished toy and the amount of yarn used. Use a consistent tension throughout the toy to create a tight fabric so that stuffing does not show through your stitches.

  • Instructions within the brackets () are to be repeated the number of times specified next to the brackets.

  • This crochet snowman free pattern is worked from the top-down (head to bottom) in continuous rounds (unless stated otherwise).  Do not join at the end of the Round, unless indicated.  A stitch marker is used to keep track of the beginning of the round.

  • For a cleaner SCDEC on pieces worked in worsted weight yarn, do your SCDEC under the front loops only of each ST rather than under both loops.  This is often referred to as an invisible decrease.  Find my tutorial on how to do this HERE.

  • This pattern can be worked in either regular single crochet or the yarn under single crochet. My mini snowman sample was done using regular single crochet.

  • Colour changes are done using the last YO of the previous ST. 

  • Place scrap pieces of yarn or stitch markers into the stitches for the safety eyes until you have crocheted past that point far enough to insert the safety eyes with the backs on them without them getting in the way of your crocheting.

  • When skipping the nose or the arms, keep the next stitch tight. If your stitch is too loose (particularly the one that skips the nose) it may cause your nose or arm to turn slightly and not sit upright as expected.

  • The nose should sit vertically on the snowman’s face. If it isn’t you can fix it using a length of white yarn to add a stitch in the top of the nose to help hold it in place.

  • After finishing with each section of orange and brown, cut your yarn and tie the ends of that colour together inside the toy. Do not crochet over the unused colour.
