Let’s start – Snowman doll – Free Crochet Pattern

The head and body are worked in continuous rounds (as a spiral). Use a stitch marker if needed.

Join the light blue yarn in any front loop stitches of Round 19 (I joined in the back to make it less visible).

Finish by a slst in the first sc of the round. Cut and secure the yarn.

With your tapestry needle and the black thread yarn, make a mouth below the nose.

Sew or glue 2 small buttons on the snowman body.

The scarf – Snowman Doll – Free Crochet Pattern

We will use a bigger crochet hook to make the scarf.

The Hat – Snowman doll – Free Crochet Pattern

The hat is worked in continuous rounds (as a spiral). Use a stitch marker if needed.
We will use a bigger crochet hook to make the hat

With a 3.25 mm crochet hook and yarn in dark blue.

- Round 1: Start 6 sc in a magic ring. (6)
- Round 2 : [1 sc, 1 inc] x3. (9)
- Round 3 : [2 sc, 1 inc] x3. (12)

- Rounds 5-6: 1 sc in all st. (18)

Change for the light blue yarn:

Round 7 : [1 hdc in all st]. (18)

When you finish the last round, cut the yarn and pull it through the last stitch to secure. Weave in the yarn tail with a tapestry needle and hide it inside the hat.

To make a small pompom, wrap the yarn around the prongs of a fork about 25 times. Knot the yarn on the side of the fork. Cut the yarn, then slide a piece of yarn between the middle prongs and tie it tightly around the wrapped yarn. Remove it from the fork, knot again to secure, and cut through all the loops. Trim the ends to shape your pompom (I made mine as small as possible), then glue or sew it on top of the hat.
