Step-by-Step Crochet Snowman Pattern
Snowman Body & Head
Magic Ring Start:
- Make a slip knot and chain two (these chains act as your magic ring).
Round 1:
- Work six single crochets into the first chain (forming the magic ring).
Increasing Rounds:
- Round 2: Increase in each stitch (2 single crochets per stitch) for a total of 12 stitches. Use scrap yarn as a stitch marker.
- Round 3: (Single crochet, increase) x 6 (18 stitches).
- Round 4: (2 single crochets, increase) x 6 (24 stitches).
- Round 5: (3 single crochets, increase) x 6 (30 stitches).
Shaping the Head:
- Rounds 6-7: Single crochet around without increasing.
- Round 8: (3 single crochets, decrease) x 6 (24 stitches).
- Round 9: (2 single crochets, decrease) x 6 (18 stitches).
📌 Tip: Attach the 12 mm safety eyes between Rounds 8 and 9, spacing them about 7 stitches apart.
Building the Body:
- Round 11: Begin increasing again (Single crochet, increase) x 6 (18 stitches), stuffing the head as you go.
- Continue increasing with similar patterns up to Round 17, following the standard stitch count progression.
- Final Rounds (18-24): Gradually decrease to shape the bottom of the snowman, then sew the opening closed with a yarn needle.
Adding the Details
Nose (Embroidery):
- Using orange yarn, embroider a small carrot nose between the safety eyes by overlaying multiple stitches to form a thick, visible shape.
Arms:
- Attach brown yarn at the sides of the body (e.g., Round 13).
- Chain seven, work back down with single crochet stitches to create fingers, and attach to the body.
Scarf:
- Chain 42 (or an appropriate length to wrap around the snowman).
- Single crochet along the chain to create a scarf. Wrap it around the neck and secure if needed.
Top Hat:
- Using black yarn, start with a magic ring and follow the increase pattern.
- Switch to your chosen color for the hat’s rim and complete the design.
- Sew the hat onto the snowman.
