About Cute Snowman Amigurumi
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Beginner. The base snowman is crocheted as one piece, starting with a magic ring, increasing for the body, then continuing with single crochet and decreasing to form the hat. After stuffing, 4mm eyes are added, and the face is embroidered. Separate parts like ears, scarf, and bow are crocheted and attached to finish the character keychain.
