Snowman Amigurumi

Hi everyone! Today I am posting a new free pattern! Winter is here and that might mean snow has arrived, depending on where you live. Even if that is not the case, you can still make a tiny amigurumi snowman, one that will never melt and best of all, does not require going out in the cold to build. The pattern below includes the snowman body and some accessories (scarf and buttons) to costuming your amigurumi. 

Scroll down for the free pattern; if you would like, you can also purchase the PDF version as well.

Finishing 
With the tapestry needle, attach the ears and nose to the head. The ears should be further down the sides of the head, but completely in the center (on the koala shown, they span down rnds 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8). The nose spans rnd 8, 9, 10, and 11. Attach the completed head to the body, then attach the limbs to the body; add the legs parallel to the body so the koala is sitting.

I hope you enjoyed this snowman! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the pattern, please feel free to contact me here. While I work extensively to make sure patterns are free of errors, no one is a perfect machine, and mistakes happen from time to time. I will gladly make an update or post an errata link if needed.

Happy crocheting!
