And, oh boy! are there many cute, adorable, fantastic amigurumi patterns out there.

If you’ve come across my post on the Hearty Giraffe I made a while back, I mentioned that crocheting amigurumi was not something I enjoyed making. Well, I will say for certain this snowman is an exception. In fact, I feel empowered and believe I can/will design more amigurumi patterns henceforth (is there a lesson here?).

JOINING TIPS

On the body

– use the bottom part where you made stitches into the BLO to guide on what angle to sew the buttons. The start/end point of the BLO should be behind or beside where you sew the buttons

– leave 1 inch space each between buttons

– sew arms on same line with the top/first button

– leave 2 inches space each between the top button and either arms

– leave 1 inch space between the head and the arm, so the scarf can sit comfortably on the ‘neck’

On the head

– sew the nose first. When sewing it, align it on the same line as the buttons on the body

– Sew eyes with a 1.2 inches space between them

– for the lips/mouth, pass black yarn through the stitches

– before stuffing, tie all loose ends inside the head multiple times, just to ensure they’re well secured
