Amigurumi Crochet Christmas Snowman Free Pattern:
Head (Using White Yarn)
R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 6 (6 sts) (you can use the magic ring if you prefer, as it won’t make a difference in the end. In that case, you will make a magic ring and make 6 sc in the magic ring. Watch this video to see how to start crocheting in the round using the “ch 2 method”.)
R2: *inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6: *sc 4, inc* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R7: sc in all 36 sts (36 sts)
R8: *sc 5, inc* rep 6 times (42 sts)
R9-10: sc in all 42 sts (2 rounds total at 42 sts each)
R11: *sc 6, inc* rep 6 times (48 sts)
R12-16: sc in all 48 sts (5 rounds total at 48 sts each)
R17: *sc 6, dec* rep 6 times (42 sts)
R18: *sc 5, dec* rep 6 times (36 sts)
Stop and insert your 12mm safety eyes between R15 & 16, 10 sts apart. (Hint: insert the 1st eye. Count 10 sts from the hole where you inserted the 1st eye and insert the 2nd eye. There will be 8 visible sts between the eyes.
R19: *sc 4, dec* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R20: *sc 3, dec* rep 6 times (24 sts)
Start to stuff the head, continuing to stuff as you work.
R21: *sc 2, dec* rep 6 times (18 sts)
Finish off. No need to leave a long tail. Finish stuffing the head and set it aside. Do not close hole.
Carrot Nose (Using Orange Yarn)
R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 5 (5 sts)
R2: sc in all 5 sts (5 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 2 times, sc 1 (7 sts)
R4: sc in all 7 sts (7 sts)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. No need to stuff.
Position the nose over R14-17 of the head centered between the eyes and pin it into place using straight pins so that it doesn’t shift around while we are sewing. Using the long tail we left and your tapestry needle, sew the nose to the head using the whipstitch.
When you are finished, make a knot to secure the sewing and weave the remaining tail into the head.
Body (Using White Yarn)
R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 6 (6 sts)
R2: *inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6-10: sc in all 30 sts (5 rounds total at 30 sts each)
R11: *sc 3, dec* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R12: *sc 2, dec* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R13: *sc 4, dec* rep 3 times (15 sts)
R14: *sc 4, inc* rep 3 times (18 sts)
R15: *sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R16-18: sc in all 24 sts (3 rounds total at 24 sts each)
R19: *sc 2, dec* rep 6 times (18 sts)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the body firmly.
Since both the last round of the head and the last round of the body have 18 sts, the two pieces will line up perfectly.
Using the whipstitch, sew the body and head together.
When you are about three-fourths of the way around, you might want to put a little more stuffing into the neck to make it sturdier. When finished, knot the finishing tail from the head to the remaining body tail to secure the sewing and weave the tails into the body to finish.
Arms (Make 2 Using Brown Yarn)
Arms are worked in rows instead of rounds
R1: ch 7, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, make 1 sc in each of the 6 chs (6 sts), ch 1, turn
R2: sc in all 6 sts (6 sts)
Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing. Fold each arm in half lengthwise to create a tube. Using the long tail we left and our tapestry needle, sew the long edges together using the whipstitch
When finished, knot the remaining sewing tail and the starting tail together to secure the sewing and weave the remaining tails into the body.
Scarf (Using Any Color of Yarn)
Note: If you want your scarf to be thicker, make sc sts instead of sl sts. You can also ch more than 47 if you want a longer scarf.
Ch 47, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, make 1 sl st in each of the 46 chs (46 sts)
Finish off leaving a tail. To secure the ends so that they don’t fray, knot the starting tail and the finishing tail together. You can now either just cut the ends (it will leave a small amount of fraying on the ends), or weave the tails up into the scarf and then cut the ends. Place the scarf around your snowman’s neck.
Top Hat (Starting in Black Yarn)
R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, sc 6 (6 sts)
R2: *inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6: *sc 4, inc* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R7: *sc 5, inc* rep 6 times (42 sts)
R8: in BLO (Back Loops Only) *sc 5, dec* rep 6 times (36 sts) (this is the last round we’ll crochet in the BLO until R14a)
R9-13: sc in all 36 sts (5 rounds total at 36 sts each)
Switch to gray yarn.
R14a: in BLO very loosely slip stitch in all 36 sts (36 sts)
R14: in BLO sc 36 (36 sts) (this is the last round we will crochet in the BLO)
Switch to black yarn
R15: in FLO (Front Loops Only) *sc 1, inc* rep 18 times (54 sts) (this is the only rounds we will crochet in the FLO)
R16: sc in all 54 sts (54 sts)
R17: *sc 4, inc* rep 10 times, sc 4 (64 sts)
R18: sc in all 64 sts (64 sts)
Finish off neatly using the invisible finish technique and leave a long tail for sewing.
Sewing the Hat to the Head
In order to keep the top of the hat nice and flat, we will cut out a circle of cardboard the same size as the top of the hat and place it in the hat so that it fits snugly. You can use any kind of cardboard for this. Once you have done this, stuff the hat lightly.
Weave the finishing tail over to the inside edge of the hat so that the tail comes up between R14 and 15 of the hat. We will use this tail to sew the hat to the snowman’s head.
Position the hat onto your snowman’s head any way that you like. I placed mine at an angle. Pin it into place using straight pins to keep it from shifting around while we sew it on.
Using the long tail we left and our tapestry needle, sew it to the head like this:
Step 1: Go over one stitch on the hat and then pull your needle down through the hat and through a stitch of the head.
Step 2: Pull your needle up through the hat and repeat step 1. Repeat steps 1-2 all the way around until the hat is sewn on. When finished, make a knot to secure the sewing and weave the remaining tail into the head.
Holly Berry Leaves (Make 2 Using Green Yarn)
Ch 4, in the 2nd ch from the hook, make 3 sc sts, make 1 sl st in each of the next 2 chs, now rotate your work 180 degrees and work in the front loops of the ch, starting in the first ch, make 1 sl st in each of the next 2 chs, make 3 sc sts in the last ch (10 sts). This is called starting your work with a foundation chain and is a great way to start a piece you want to be more oval than round. After crocheting through the top loops of the chain, you turn your work upside down so that the sts you just crocheted are at the bottom and the front/bottom loops of the chain are now at the top. These are the sts you will now work into. Once you’re at the end of the row, the first round is complete! Now you just continue as you normally would working in the round. Watch this video to learn how to crochet into a foundation chain.
Finish off neatly using the invisible finish technique.
Adding the Berries
To add the little holly berries, take three red premade pom poms (0.5 in/1.27 cm in size) and glue them to the side of the hat using fabric glue.
Once the glue has dried, sew the bottoms of the leaves to the side of the hat nestled in between the pom poms.. Now knot the two tails together to secure them and weave the tails into the hat again to finish.
Stocking Cap (Using Any Color of Yarn)
Note: Hat is worked entirely in hdc sts. If you tend to crochet very loosely when you make hdc sts then please consider going down a hook size or two to compensate for the size difference.
R1: ch 2, starting in the 2nd ch from hook, hdc 6 (6 sts)
R2: *hdc inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *hdc 1, hdc inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *hdc 2, hdc inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *hdc 3, hdc inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6: *h
R10: *hdc 6, hdc inc* rep 6 times (48 sts)
R11-13: hdc in all 48 sts (3 rounds total at 48 sts each)
Finish off. No need to leave a long tail. Set the hat aside until we make the hat band and pom pom.
Hat Band (Using Any Color of Yarn)
Hat band is worked in rows instead of rounds so we will ch 1, and turn at the end of each row. The hat band is also worked entirely in the BLO (back loops only) using sc sts.
R1: ch 4, starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, sc 3 (3 sts), ch 1, turn
R2-62: in BLO sc in all 3 sts, ch 1, turn (61 rows total at 3 sts each)
Before finishing off, wrap the band around the hat to make sure it is the correct length for your hat. You may need to make it shorter or longer than mine. Finish off leaving a long tail for sewing.
Join the two short ends of the band together and sew them together using the whipstitch. You now have a circular band.
Pom Pom (Using Any Color of Yarn)
I made my pom pom using a mini 2.5 inch pom pom maker. There are many different ways to make pom poms, including with cardboard or with a dinner fork. Below are links to video tutorials for each of these methods.
When complete, sew the pom pom to the top of the hat. To do this, pull one of the tails from the pom pom through the top center of the hatand then pull the second tail from the pom pom through the center of the hat one stitch over from the first tail.
Pull the two tails tight then on the inside of your hat, knot them together to secure the pom pom to the hat. Cut the ends to finish.
Place the hat on your snowman and you’re done!
