Christmas Snowman Mochi Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Intermediate. You will crochet the snowman body (the base pattern), making a simple, solid sphere and a zodiac mochi face separately. For the mochi face, I have provided the tutorial since the pattern starts after this. This face is in turn, crocheted by first making a sphere head with an embroidered face and then the cover.
All this needs the same amigurumi techniques like the single crochet, slip stitch, chain, increase, and decrease. For the snowman hat, you will also need a half-double crochet and increase pattern for the brim.
For shaping the icing of the gingerbread man snowman, there needs to be sc, hdc, and double crochet patterns. It produces a shell pattern. Hair is crocheted in circles. Sewing is also needed.
Tutorial-Timing: 30 Minutes when combining both tutorials
