The scheme and description are quite simple, so understanding the sequence of work will not be difficult. And a gift made in the form of a cute winter character will surely take its rightful place among your friends and relatives' home decorations.
Simple souvenir (flat object)
The most basic snowman with a crochet can be made of ordinary circles (one or several). To make the circle not tightened and without corners, it is important to correctly and evenly distribute the increase. Any circle fits in a spiral.
Work like this:
- Perform 6 chain stitches.
- Connect the element to the ring.
- 1 row: Complete 6 single crochet stitches.
- 2 row: In each loop of the previous row, knit two single crochet (= 12).
- 3 row: Evenly circle around the increase of 6 single crochet (= 18).
- 4 row: Knit with single crochet, also distributing a uniform increase in the form of 6 columns (= 24).
Work continues in the same way to the desired circle diameter. So that the figure does not work out with corners, the increases in each row should not go perfectly in one place.
For a snowman, you can knit two or three circles of the same or different sizes, and then sew them into a single object, which is easily decorated with an embroidered face and additional details in the form of a scarf and hat.
Volumetric toy: how to tie a torso
Crochet a snowman can be made on separate elements or as a whole. In the second case, it is not necessary to stitch the balls, but it will be necessary to fill the form with synthetic winterizer during the knitting process. To make the body, use hook number 2. The work will look like this:
- 1 row: Crochet a snowman begins with the implementation of the Amigurumi ring. To do this, wrap the working thread around the index finger of the left hand and hook the working thread through the loop. Knit 8 single crochet stitches and pull into a ring. Before you is a neat start to work.
- 2-7 row: knit in a circle with single crochet columns, evenly distributing the increments, so that you get an even flat, not strained circle.
- 8-15 row: knit in single crochet without increasing.
- 16-22 row: evenly reduce the loops, performing columns with a common vertex, or in any other way begin to make decreases through an equal number of columns. You should get a narrowing of the shape, a kind of "waist" of a snowman.
- 23 row: now perform the increase (a pair of columns in one loop).
- 24th row: every two columns, make increments.
- 25-28 row: performed without increase and decrease in single crochet columns.
- 29-34 row: evenly distribute the decreases in a circle to form a transition to the head, that is, the neck.
- 35 row: how did the transition in the waist area, knit a pair of columns in one loop.
- 36 row: carry out increases through 2 columns.
- 37-47 row: knit in single crochet without increases or decreases. Do not forget to fill the product with existing material;
- 48-55 row: perform decreases until the ring closes. Cut and fasten the thread.
Interior toy
If you need a big snowman, crocheting it is also easy, it will only take much more time and yarn. Depending on the desired size, you can take thicker threads and a hook or, having understood the principle of working on a small product, slightly adjust the presented scheme, increasing the number of loops, rows of increments, decreases and parts of the object without them.
How to tie the legs
The voluminous snowman should be as realistic and detailed as possible, therefore, in addition to the torso, you also need to complete the legs. Each part is knitted separately (two pieces, respectively), and then sewn to the base. Determine the location of the legs yourself. If the snowman is standing on the table, then it is better to lift them to the front plane of the lower ball. If the product is supposed to be hung on a Christmas tree, then the legs will look great and sewn below.
The work is performed as follows:
- 1 row: follow the amigurumi ring, as for the previous part. Knit 8 single crochet into it and pull it into a tight, neat piece.
- 2-3 row: knit single crochet, evenly distributing increases.
- 4-5 row: also perform without crochet, but without increments.
- 6-7 row: after two single crochet columns, make one decrease.
Fill the part with a synthetic winterizer, and simply pull the remaining small hole and sew it with a needle. Tie the second leg in the same way. Sew both legs to the body.
So, as you see, there is nothing complicated.
How to knit pens
You can still do without legs if you don’t feel like making them or don’t have time, but you don’t have anywhere without handles. Any real cobbled-up snowman is always carried out with hands, to one of which, as a rule, a broom is attached. Although you only have a crochet snowman toy, realism is important. So, to tie the character’s hand, work as follows:
- 1 row: perform an amigurumi ring and knit 8 single crochet into it. Pull off the ring.
- 2 row: make an increase (for a pair of columns in one loop).
- 3-12 row: performed without increase in single crochet columns. Fill the part with a synthetic winterizer.
- 13-15 row: evenly distribute the decreases until the circle closes.
Do the second handle in exactly the same way. Sew the items in the appropriate places on the body.
Your snowman has already acquired a realistic shape!
How to make a face
Focusing on an object created from snow in the yard, decorating his head with details that form a certain image, facial expressions and emotions, make a face. Eyes are easy to embroider or sew on small beads. Mouth is easier to make in the first way. The nose is traditionally made from carrots. To make your voluminous snowman different from the natural one only in size, take orange yarn and make the appropriate part. Hook is better to use No. 1. Work like this:
- 1 row: make 14 air loops and and fix the chain in the form of a ring.
- 2-5 row: knit in a circle without increases and decreases in single crochet columns.
- 6-8 row: Perform even decreases until a circle is closed.
Fill the resulting cone with a synthetic winterizer. Sew the item to the head.
How to knit a hat
Properly selected additional attributes, in particular, clothing elements, will also help to create a cute image of a winter hero. They can be made the same or different in color. If you want your New Year's snowman to be crocheted in a hat, work like this:
Complete the amigurumi ring and knit 10 single crochet into it:
- 1 row: perform single crochet by uniformly adding 5 columns to make 15 in a row.
- 2 row: Knit 15 single crochet stitches on the back of the loop.
- 3-4 row: perform single crochet.
- 5th row: form the hat margins by knitting two single crochet in each loop of the previous row for the front wall of the loop. It turned out 30 columns. Cut the thread and fasten.
The hat is ready.

To make a scarf, follow these steps:
- Dial 60 air loops and 1 lift loop.
- In the second loop, crochet a single crochet.
- Knit single crochet to the end of the row.
- Cut the working thread and fasten.
And this accessory is made. You can dress up a hero.
