Crochet Winter Snowman Doll Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: This cute snowman ornament is crocheted using the usual Amigurumi techniques like Single Crochet for the head and body. Shape the amigurumi through Increases and decreases with the body, starting with a Front Loop Only (FLO) round from the head.
Flat pieces, such as the nose and the rectangular hat piece, are worked in rounds or rows, joined with a Slip Stitch. A specialized technique for the scarf involves alternating color changes mid-stitch to create a two-color striped effect.
Finishing techniques include creating a simple pom pom for the hat and using embroidery for the mouth.
Tutorial Timing: 31 Minutes (perfect for learning the popular snowman doll pattern that can be used to crochet the animal snowman)
Tips before getting started: If the crocheted rectangular piece for the hat does not fit the head, you should increase or decrease the number of rows (which is 30 in the tutorial). The length of the scarf can be customized to your preference by checking its fit around the neck and stopping when the desired length is achieved (the tutorial uses around 40 rows).
The pom pom on the hat can be made larger or smaller by wrapping the yarn more or fewer times than the suggested 40 wraps.
Stitch Guides for Special Techniques
Here are the quick guides for crocheting each stitch that the tutor uses for crocheting this Christmas snowman:
- Front Loop Only (FLO) – Insert the hook only into the front strand of the stitch to create a defined edge, used when starting the body.
- Slip Stitch (Sl St) – Insert hook, yarn over, and pull through the stitch and the loop on the hook, used for joining rounds.
- Skip Stitch – Skip the first chain stitch when starting the first row off a foundation chain.
- Color Change – Change yarn color at the end of a stitch or mid-stitch (as done for the scarf) to create stripes or new sections.
