A free crochet snowman pattern for a classic two-ball amigurumi snowman in a black top hat and a cozy red scarf. This snowman plushie has a carrot nose, shiny black eyes, a smile of coal dots, rosy cheeks and three coal buttons. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, with safety eyes: two snowballs, a cone nose, a top hat with a red band and a ribbed scarf with a hanging end are sewn together, and it stands about 15 cm (6 in) tall. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to check every piece, a handmade Christmas decoration or gift.
