SNOWMAN Amigurumi no sewing

SNOWMAN Amigurumi no sewing

PREMISE

I recently started to create a new collection of no-sewing amigurumi -free patterns (that you can find here) and I thought that it was time to add something Christmas-y to the collection.

Lion no sewing free pattern

The pattern in this page is totally free, but it’s intellectual property of Elendipity.
You can use it and, of course, you can sell the final products you create, but you cannot sell the pattern or any alteration of the pattern.

You should also credit Elendipity (as pattern creator) whenever you create it, share it and/or sell it.

Feel free to tag me on my Instagram if you create it, I would love to see your works!!

There is also an inexpensive ad-free pdf version of the pattern with more than 60 photos to explain you the process step by step, you can buy it here: 

The PDF includes the following patterns:

  • Snowman
  • Top Hat
  • Beanie Hat (not available in the free version below)
  • Scarf (not available in the free version below)

HOW TO

This amigurumi is worked from the top to the bottom, so you will begin from the head and you will continue working in round creating the nose, the neck, the arms and the rest of the body.

After this you can crochet hat and scarf (which are absolutely optional).

The Snowman and the Top Hat are worked in continuous rounds with the spiral method, not slip stitches to join. (The beanie hat and the scarf, instead, are worked in rows.)

There will be some colour change and I recorded a video to show you how to change colour in amigurumi, you will find the video at this link.

MATERIAL

I used:

  • Crochet hook 3mm
  • For the Snowman: Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6, colour n. 002 (White – W6) – 16 gr
  • For the Snowman: Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6, colour n. 066 (Dusty Orange – DO6) – less than 1 gr
  • For the Snowman: Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6, colour n. 007 (Brown – B6) – less than 1 gr
  • For the Top Hat: Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6, colour n. 009 (Black – BL6) – 8 gr
  • safety eyes
  • stitch marker
  • stuffing
  • darning needle
  • Black embroidery thread for mouth and buttons (optional)

I bought the yarn at Hobbii.

TERMS

Here below the list of the stitches (US terms) that we are going to use for this project.

  • MC = Magic Circle
  • CH = Chain
  • SS = Slip Stich
  • SC = Single Crochet
  • INC (Increase) = 2 stitches in the same stitch
  • DEC (Decrease) = 1 stitch worked over two stitches – it would be better if you know how to do Invisible Decrease.
  • st = stitches
  • BLO = Back Loop Only
  • FLO = Front Loop Only
  • Number in brackets, at the end of each round, indicates the total stitches for the round.
  • Instruction between * … * means you have to repeat what is between the asterisks by the times indicated after the second asterisk.
  • Instruction between ( … ) means you have to do all the stitches in the brackets in the same stitch.
  • You will always find the acronym of the stitch and a number close to it; if the number is before the name of the stitch, it means that you will have to repeat those stitches in the same space. For example: 5 SC = 5 Single Crochet in the same stitch / SC 5 = 5 Single Crochet in the next 5 stitches

There is also an inexpensive ad-free pdf version of the pattern with more than 60 photos to explain you the process step by step, you can buy it here: 

Shall we start? 

Let’s go!!

SNOWMAN

START

With 3mm crochet hook and the colour W6, create a MC and work R1 in the MC.

  • ROUND 1

SC 6 (6)

  • ROUND 2

* INC * x 6 (12)

  • ROUND 3

* SC 1, INC * x 6 (18)

  • ROUND 4

* INC, SC 2 * x 6 (24)

  • ROUND 5

* SC 3, INC * x 6 (30)

  • ROUND 6 – 7 (2 rounds)

SC 30 (30)

  • ROUND 8

SC 14, change colour to DO6, Nose (FLO: SS 1, CH 4, SS 1, SC 2), FLO SS 1, change colour to W6, SC 14 (30 + nose)

  • ROUND 9

SC 14, BLO SC 2, SC 14 (30)

  • ROUND 10

SC 30 (30)

Now you should insert the eyes between round 7 and 8, with 6 stitches from each
other, paying attention to have the nose / carrot in the middle.
 
In the ad-free pdf pattern you can find also advice on how to place the safety eyes.
You can find the inexpensive pdf pattern here.
  • ROUND 11

* SC 3, DEC * x 6 (24)

  • ROUND 12

* DEC, SC 2 * x 6 (18)

  • ROUND 13

* SC 1, DEC * x 6 (12) and proceed with stuffing the head.

  • ROUND 14

SC 12 (12)

  • ROUND 15

FLO: * SC 1, INC * x 6 (18)

  • ROUND 16

INC, SC 2, INC, change colour to B6, First Arm (FLO: SS 1, CH 7, starting from the second CH from your hook SS 2, CH 4, starting from the second CH from your hook SS 3 in the chains you just made, SS 4 and SS 1 in the same st where you did the first SS 1), change colour to W6, SC 1, * INC, SC 2 * x 2, INC, SC 1, change colour to B6, Second Arm (FLO: SS 1, CH 7, starting from the second CH from your hook SS 2, CH 4, starting from the second CH from your hook SS 3 in the chains you just made, SS 4 and SS 1 in the same st where you did the first SS 1), change colour to W6, INC, SC 2 (24 + 2 arms)

It looks more complicated that what it actually is: you are basically creating two arms and, on the top of the arms, you create sort of hands/fingers.

  • ROUND 17

SC 3, INC, SC 2, BLO SC 1, INC, * SC 3, INC * x 2, SC 3, BLO INC, SC 3, INC (30)

  • ROUND 18

* INC, SC 4 * x 6 (36)

  • ROUND 19-23 (5 rounds)

SC 36 (36)

  • ROUND 24

* SC 4, DEC * x 6 (30)

  • ROUND 25

* DEC, SC 3 * x 6 (24)

  • ROUND 26

*SC 2, DEC * x 6 (18)

  • ROUND 27

BLO : * DEC, SC 1 * x 6 (12)

Here you will do NORMAL DECREASE, don’t do invisible decrease because it won’t be ideal when working in BLO.

Working in BLO at this step will help the Snowman to seat better.

Now you will fill the Snowman with the stuffing.

  • ROUND 28

* DEC * x 6 (6)

 

EMBROIDERY (optional)

Now you can embroider the mouth and some buttons on the belly.
