Free crochet snowman pattern: a Leggy Snowman amigurumi, about 17 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A white two-ball snowman with a carrot nose, black top hat, red scarf and very long legs in red and white striped socks. You need about 120 m of yarn: 65 m snow, 25 m ebony, 20 m red, 5 m orange and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 4 hours. Sit it on a shelf with its legs dangling forward or give it as a funny winter gift. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

- Size before assembly: an oval about 3.2 × 2 cm at the widest, 11.9 cm long; 34 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs vertically, top to bottom; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is at a turn of the oval, on the piece's centre line; R1 starts there, so no shift is needed. The increases fall on the turns.
