Big Snowman & Girl Amigurumi Free Pattern

• Yarn 4/Medium Weight Yarn in…
Sweater Snowman: White, Orange, Blue, Green, Brown, and Scarf Color

Additional Information:
Difficulty: Intermediate
• Size
From the bottom to the top of the hat, the snowman is 11.5″ tall / 30 cm tall.
• Before we get started…
There are 2 different versions of the snowmen. One is made with a sweater, and the other is without a sweater. Each one has their own pattern included in this PDF.
• Making the snowman
We start by making the head. The head works into the body and sweater. They are all one continuous piece. For the sweater we will use a “split stitch” for clean color changes and a knit look. If you don’t know how to do this stitch – no worries! I will show you how when we get to it.
Snowman With Sweater:
In White
Follow this pattern to make the snowman with the sweater. The sweater is crocheted on with a special stitch, called a split stitch!
To make a regular all white snowman follow the pattern after the sweater snowman pattern.

Round 37: Crochet this round looser than usual. *Sc* all around (48)
Sweater Time!
Note: The split stitch not only makes a “knit” look, but it also makes color changes line up perfectly!
Now we will make the “knit” look of the sweater. We do this by making a split stitch. To make the split stitch insert the crochet hook directly in between the “v” Make sure to NOT crochet above the “v” like we usually do in crochet.
Crochet these sweater rounds a bit looser than usual. When pulling second loop up, pull that loop looser to the height of the current stitch This makes it easier to later crochet back into the stitch. We will be crocheting these rounds using a split stitch until we work the white body.
Remember to use the split stitch until the pattern states to do a regular single crochet!
Round 38: Change to White. *Inc, Sc 7* all around (54)
Round 39: Repeat *In White Sc 3. In Blue Sc 1* 13 times. Change to White and Sc in the next st, Inc in the last st (55)
Having Trouble Making Color Changes?
Here’s how to make a clean color change! No cutting of yarn needed, no untwisting yarns, no carrying yarns. Just put the old color to the right. Yarn over the old color with the new color Pull this new color through Yarn over Pull through
Remember to use the split stitch until the pattern states to do a regular single crochet!
