Free crochet snowman pattern: a Melting Snowman Ornament amigurumi, about 9 cm tall in fingering yarn with a 2.0 mm hook. It is a white snowman half sunk into a light blue puddle, with a red scarf, a drooping carrot nose, twig arms and a worried face, and a gold loop on top. You need about 90 m of yarn: 35 m white, 25 m light blue, 5 m red, 5 m gold, 5 m brown, 5 m orange, 5 m pink and 5 m black. Plan on roughly 3 hours. This little snowman works as a tree ornament or a cheerful desk buddy for anyone who loves winter crafts. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
