So, if you have made up your mind to crochet this snowman pillow, continue reading this post till the end. There you will find the complete tutorial. It will certainly be the best gift ever!
About the Designer: The designer behind this new snowman amigurumi for kids is @KumoAmu – Hannah’s channel, KumoAmu, is relatively new, but her festive plushie set tutorials are truly outstanding! As you may have seen, she also tried other kawaii animal plushies that were all in the box. For future projects, she will focus on similar “kawaii” (cute) plushies, including a Christmas reindeer, a spider, a capybara, and a frog head plushie. The tutorials are described as “beginner-friendly” and “last-minute.” So, follow her since watching the unique concept, her future projects seem to be oh-so cute and must-haves. And she has proved that!
Note: In respect of the creator’s rights, there will be no provision of the written pattern. You can watch the tutorial with on-screen written instructions at the end of this post.
Crochet Dressed Snowman Tutorial
Tips before getting started: You can follow through with the previous crochet Santa hat tutorial if going to crochet for Christmas. For the scarf it will also be a lovely addition to faux fur in the ends. For a detailed look, crochet the headphone part of the headphones with color changes. I would also recommend crocheting this snowman using the thin plush yarn, like in the chubby reminder amigurumi.
Tutorial Time: About 34 Minutes

Quick Summary and Skill Level
Beginner. You’re gonna crochet a no-sew chubby body for the base snowman pattern from top to bottom in the rounds. For the legs, you will be using bobble stitch along with single crochet, increase and decrease, slip stitch, and other basic stitches that are usually used in any amigurumi. On reaching the bottom, you will work BLO for a nice turn in your work.
It is because the pattern before reaching that barely grew in radius, and now you need a quick turn to close the amigurumi. This gives this amigurumi a perfect sitting posture. To crochet the headphones, you will simply crochet two incomplete spheres and a crochet length.
The same is for the scarf, by working in rows. The arms (sticks) just need to insert the hook by chain skipping and working a slip stitch.
Abbreviations and Stitches
I have a list of the following crochet abbreviations, for which I also added quick guides for crocheting this kawaii snowman:
sc (single crochet): Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops.
sl st (slip stitch): Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through stitch and loop on hook in one motion.

Special Stitches
To crochet the legs and a part of the snowman’s body, you will need the following crochet stitches:
- BLO (back loop only): Work the stitch as instructed, but insert the hook only under the back loop of the stitch.
- BO (bobble stitch): Work several partial double crochets in the same stitch, yarn over, pull through all loops on hook.
