Tip Of the Day:

Many of us may not go for outdoor Winter season activities like sledding, skiing, and snowboarding. Hence, if you want to keep your kids occupied around your house or in the park, you can build a snowman, plan a snowball fight, or create ornaments for your special Christmas tree.

After Amigurumi Santa and Amigurumi Reindeer made their public appearances, Amigurumi Snowman couldn’t wait for us to show you how to replicate him. With our free Snowman crochet pattern, you can make the trio of festive characters as Christmas decorations or give them away as presents!

This Snowman amigurumi pattern is the second crochet Snowman we’ve shared. If you prefer an easy snowman applique rather than a huggable doll, learn how to crochet a flat Snowman with thed free pattern. You can use it as a Snowman ornament or embellish your Christmas cards, hats, and bags with it.

That sly and cheeky grin shows how excited our Christmas doll is ☃️ Including the beanie hat, the finished size of Snowflake, is 13.5″. If you want your finished product to be larger, you may use medium-weight yarn and a bigger hook size. Crocheters with an avid beginner to intermediate skill level would easily pull off this project. Especially if you already know basic stitches like chain stitch, single crochet, 2sc increase, and invisible decrease.

The primary materials we used are DK/light worsted weight acrylic yarn, a 2.5 mm crochet hook (for the Snowman Amigurumi), and a 3.5 mm crochet hook (for the beanie and scarf). Additional tools include a tapestry needle, stitch marker, fabric marker, scissors, pins, and a pom-pom maker.

To build a real Snowman, you’d typically use a carrot for its nose, coals for its eyes, pebbles for its lips, rocks for its chest, and sticks for its arms. But for this Snowflake Snowman Amigurumi crochet pattern, you’d replace those items with safety eyes and crochet yarn!

How To Crochet Snowman Doll?

This free crochet Snowman pattern consists of three major components. First, we have a head that’s made with white yarn. Begin the crochet with the magic ring (magic circle) method to ensure you close off the center of the head tightly, leaving no hole in the middle. Once you’ve reached the 27th round of the head, you’d install the safety eyes on Round fifteen and six stitches apart from each other, then fill it up with polyester stuffing. Finally, complete the Amigurumi Snowman’s facial features by joining the crochet carrot nose, eyebrows, and lips to its head.

This is the second component of the Amigurumi Snowman; the main body. Crochet according to the given number of stitches and rounds, then install the three 12 mm safety eyes round 21, 26, and 31, respectively. The crochet Snowman’s arms and legs are made with a combination of white and pastel blue yarn. You’re required to crochet the mittens or booties first, then follow the instructions to crochet at the back loop of the individual pieces to create the white arms & legs.

Lastly, finish off the free crochet pattern with Amigurumi wearables, the crochet scarf, and the pom-pom beanie. The way to crochet the beanie is the same as the one shared in the Amigurumi Reindeer pattern. However, this pattern makes a slightly larger hat of about 5″ W x 13″ H. And, if you want to make a similar beanie for humans, we have updated a 9-size crochet beanie pattern that fits newborns to adults.

Both the scarf and beanie pattern call for the single crochet in 3rd loop technique, where you’d be able to get a nice vertical ribbed texture for the finished workpiece.

Here’s Amigurumi Snowman, watching Santa and his reindeer Christmas dolls from afar, feeling thankful for his little gift and wishing them a safe journey ahead.

The Gnome Crochet Pattern would also be a perfect addition to the trio. With these free patterns, you’d be able to create a gift set of four Amigurumi dolls for your loved ones. Don’t forget to tag @Craftpassion on social media to show us your creations. We’d love to see your version of the crochet dolls.

Would it be possible to double amount of rows/stitches to make it bigger, or would it ruin pattern, I love this but I would like it to be bigger

Joanne Loh

Only the hat and scarf can be enlarged in this way. And if you want a bigger beanie, we have a 9-size crochet beanie pattern that fits newborns to adults.
