How about making a wonderful snowman for Christmas? Especially when the winter months come, snowman amigurumi toys become very popular. When winter comes to the northern hemisphere, dolls such as Santa Claus and snowmen are so popular. The snowman pattern that I will share today is completely free and you can download it in pdf format. The snowman amigurumi toy also has a scarf and a hat.

MATERIALS & SUPPLIES
• 2.5 mm crochet hook*
• 20-25 grams of sport weight cotton yarn, about 120 meters in 50 grams, for the body and the head (I recommend ivory or off-white colors), about 5-7 grams of the same weight yarn for the bowler hat, scraps of yarn for the arms and the nose, about 5-7 grams of yarn for the scarf
• fiberfill for stuffing
• yarn needle and scissors
• mouline thread to embroider the eyes (alternatively, you may use safety eyes), small button to fix the scarf, beads for decoration (optional).
*Gauge is not important for this pattern, and you can work with any yarn weight and a suitable hook (it only affects the size of the finished toy).

SCARF (work with the scarf yarn)
Please note, that for my snowman the length of the scarf is enough to wrap it twice around the toy’s neck and leave short ends. If you prefer longer ends for the scarf, make a longer chain.
Ch 81, work sc in 2nd ch from hook and ch 2 (counts as 1st dc). Continue working on the chain, 79 dc (80 dc sts).
Cut the yarn and fasten off.
ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING (please, read the entire section before you start working)
1) Sew the head to the body (the head is very easy to sew because you can work stitch to stitch).
IMPORTANT! If you are using safety eyes, insert and secure them between rnds 8&9 of the head, the distance between the eyes should be about 6 sts.
2) Embroider the eyes and sew the nose. Tip. You can hide any ends on the top of the head, just make sure they will be hidden under the bowler hat later.
Again, I suggest to work on the eyes between rnds 8&9 of the head, and the distance between the eyes is about 6 sts.
3) Observing the symmetry, sew the arms and the beads to decorate the belly (alternatively, you can embroidery some décor on the belly).
4) Sew the bowler hat to the top of the head, catching the back loops of Rnd 8 of the hat and the head stitches. Make sure that it hides any embroidery / sewing knots.
5) Wrap the scarf twice around the snowman’s neck, secure the scarf by sewing a button to it (though you surely can make the scarf removable).
Sew in any ends.
