Your snowman is gorgeous! Thank you for generously giving us a free pattern, you are so talented. I’m already digging through my stash for wool to do your design justice.
Thank you, Karen! 🙂
The cutest little crocheted snowman I’ve ever seen! I see stocking stuffers…!
Thanks! ^-^ )))))))
I love the snowman pattern, but having trouble downloading pattern. Any suggestions?

Your pattern is adorable but why share it on a website that you cannot print or download or even copy? Do I have to sit at my computer to crochet it???
I make dolls and toys for the children’s hospital. Will you please share it in a way that I can use?
Thank you.

Pretty picky for a darling FREE pattern.
I’m working on the mitten. What is a bobble stitch? Thanks
Hi Christy, here is a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH_DqrsSbCc
Thank you for sharing! He is the cutest snowman I’ve seen! Another project for Christmas!
Hej! Så jätte söt snögubbe. Tack
Hi, help! I’m just starting the leg. I’m a bit confused on row 1 after “turn”. Can you please explain.thank you
Hi Karen, it means you need to turn and continue working on the opposite side of chain.
Hi I understand that bit but after it says “sc in the next 3 stitches”. What about the rest of the row? It says I should then have 12 stitches. Am I missing something??
Hi Karen, If you follow the pattern you’ll get 12 st in first round of the leg. Instead of the last stitch in the round you should make sl st to join the beginning.
In round 1 I get 9 stitches then it says turn??
Hi Karen, you mean Row but not Round, as full round ends when you do sl st.
Hello,
Thanks for the beautiful pattern! I am making it for christmas, but I am also stuck on the first round of the leg after ‘turn’. Because if I do that, I have 9 stitches in total with 3 ‘on top’ of the row of 9 and I can’t join them. I don’t get 12 stitches. I think it is the same problem Karen has. Can you please explain this for me? Thanks in advance!
Hi Kim, did you make sc in next 3 st on the opposite side of the chain after the word “turn”? 9+3=12 stitches. I think you didn’t follow all the instructions for the Rnd 1 till the word “Rnd 2”. Note that this is not the Row, but the Round. You should get an oval.
Thank you! I didn’t understand that I had to make the 3 stitches on the ‘bottom’ of the chain. I get it now!! Thanks
Thanks Kim,that’s exactly the problem I had. I Didn’t realise “turn” meant carry on in the bottom of the chain. Thanks for all your help. And thanks amigurami today for the lovely pattern. Xx
Karen je zou het patroon in het nederlands kunnen vertalen je “moet” het rustig door lezen en het staat echt goed beschreven wat je moet doen alle rondes worden goed uitgelegd vind ik , en je moet het steeds herhalen wat er staat rustig lezen dan “valt”t kwartje van zelf wel ( of het is nog wat moeilijk voor je dat je misschien net begonnen ben met haken )
Het was niet helemaal helder omschreven. Dus ik vind jouw opmerking niet gepast, op het bitchy af. Als iemand om hulp vraagt met het haken, kun je ook iemand helpen ipv afkraken.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!
Thank you for this wonderful gift!! It will be my first attempt!
Merry Christmas! <3
I made the snowman thanks for the lovely pattern. It’s come out beautiful.
Hi Anandi, it’s great! You can share the photo of your work here https://community.amigurumi.today/c/showcase
How did you make the fringe for his little hat? This is adorable. Thank you so much!
It’s Alize Softy yarn effect. You can use any similar yarn 🙂
Very cute
Having trouble with it standing
Your patterns are simply fabulous and creative and i have got hooked to it. 🙂
The challenge I am facing this time is with the legs
Would it be possible to make a video of only legs. A demo would be great as that is the only part that i am facing challenges
Der Schneemann ist allerliebst so was von niedlich aber wie bekomme ich den Mützen Rand fertig gestellt vielen Dank Im vorraus Sonja
Hi Sonja 🙂 Please use fluffy or chenille yarn for hat edge.
hello is this snowman for sale?
Hi! This is crochet pattern only 🙂
What weight is the yarn for this pattern? I’m thinking it has to be something thin since the hook size is so small but wasn’t sure which yarn to use.
This is a super fine yarn (4 ply). But you can use the yarn of bigger weight. Note, that your toy will be bigger too in this case.
OMG This little guy is too sweet! And really easy to make. I really appreciate all the work you put in with this pattern. I can crochet, but don’t have the first clue on how to create things like this. Thanks again for sharing!!
Thank you, Beverly! 🙂💖
I do not understand how to make the feet. I have tried do you have a tutorial or something i will understand
Thanks for your free snoman pattern. It soo cute.
This is the cutest snowman I ever have seen. I crochet and knit and don’t think I should have a problem. Can you tell the names of the colors used by Alize Softly yarn and where to buy the yarn. Thank you for your generous pattern.
Kay
Hi Kay, I think you can buy it online.
I love this little snowman. I have it all done except for the legs. I am not understanding the first round. It’s not making sense to me. Would it be possible to get a picture of the bottom of the feet?
Hi Marilyn, please work on both sides of foundation chain to start the boots https://amigurumi.today/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Screenshot_21.png
How did you get the beginning of the hat get that fuzzy look?
It’s a kind of fuzzy yarn 🙂
Very lovely snowman! So cute! I was wondering how long the chain for the scarf should be? Otherwise a very good to follow pattern. Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
For the fuzzy jarn, I’m going to use Phil Douce (by phildar).
Hi Mel, the number of ch depends on your snowman size. Please try it on your toy while working 🙂
I’m crocheting your snowman any instructions on how to attached the arms and feet please.
Do you have any instructions for sewing the snowman together? It is absolutely lovely and the pattern for the pieces I’ve completed are really good.
How to make bobble stitch ?
https://amigurumi.today/basic-crochet-stitches-tutorial/
This little guy is adorable. I can’t wait to make him! I have a couple questions concerning the hat. The pattern indicates it’s all made from sc, but it looks like there may be some rows of another stitch in your hat. I’m not sure? Second question is regarding the fuzzy trim. I know I need to get some fuzzy yarn, but what stitch did you use with it to get the effect you got? I’ve never used it before so I don’t know how it works up with particular stitches.
Thanks for your help and thank you for this pattern. I’m so excited to make this little snowman.
I figured it out and am almost finished with my snowman. He’s adorable.
