The funny part is it looks actually better without the hat. So, if you have made up your mind to crochet this basic snowman doll for the upcoming Christmas, continue reading this post till the end. There you will find the complete tutorial. It will be the best gift ever!

Crochet Christmas Snowman Amigurumi
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Beginner. Crochet the head and body of the snowman as a single piece using white yarn and using single crochet. For this, you begin with the head, work increase and then even rounds, followed by decreasing rounds for the neck.
Immediately after, you repeat with increases and straight rounds to form the body and place safety eyes on the head between rounds 7 and 8 before stuffing. The body is finished with two rounds of decreases.
The scarf is crocheted separately in a contrasting red color using two rows of chains and half double crochet. Finally, you embroider the carrot nose with orange yarn and the buttons with black yarn. So, everything is easy.
Tutorial-Timing: 19 Minutes only
