Crochet Snowman Amigurumi Doll Tutorial

Starting the Head and Body Base: Use the off-white yarn to make a magic ring with six single crochets. Increase each round following a pattern (e.g., two single crochets per stitch, then single crochet + increase) until reaching 36 stitches per round.

Building Height for the Body: Crochet six rounds without any increases or decreases to add height to the snowman’s body.
Adding Safety Eyes: Attach the safety eyes between rounds 10 and 11, leaving five stitches between them. This helps create a cute face while leaving room for other features.
Shaping the Head and Body: Begin decreasing stitches to create the tapering top of the head. Gradual decreases (e.g., four single crochets, one decrease) are used to give the rounded snowman shape. Stuff the body firmly with polyester filling, ensuring it keeps its shape.
Attaching the Arms: Make two small arms with the same off-white yarn by following a magic ring and single crochet rounds. Sew the arms slightly tilted on each side of the snowman’s body to mimic a "hugging" gesture.
Creating and Adding the Nose: Crochet a small, cone-shaped nose in orange yarn using a magic ring and a few rounds of single crochet. Position and sew it slightly below the eyes to give the snowman a friendly look.
Making and Attaching the Hat: Start with black yarn and a magic ring. Crochet rounds with gradual increases, following a pattern of one single crochet and one increase, to shape the base of the hat.
As you build height, switch to single crochets without increases.
Use only the back loops to create a slight brim effect, and add stuffing if desired to keep the hat’s shape. Secure the hat on the snowman’s head with a few stitches.
Crafting the Scarf: For the scarf, crochet a chain of 37 stitches and turn, making half-double crochets across to add texture and width.
You may alternate colours (e.g., red and green) or use a single colour. Tie the scarf around the neck, securing it if desired.
Final Assembly and Finishing Touches: Attach the nose, secure any loose yarn ends, and adjust stuffing as needed.
Optional: Add small buttons to the front for extra detail.
