Introduction

In this video tutorial, I will be showing you how to make an adorable snowman. This snowman is perfect for beginners as it only requires three stitches and can be made quickly. I will guide you step-by-step through the process and provide helpful tips along the way. So, let's gather our materials and get started!

Materials Needed

To make this snowman, you will need the following materials:

• 4 millimeter crochet hook (also known as a G hook)
• Yarn needle
• Optional stitch marker
• Pair of sharp scissors
• Optional pair of 9 millimeter safety eyes with backs (can be replaced with buttons or embroidered)
• Yarn in white, black, orange, and a color of your choice for the scarf

Making the Magic Ring

To start creating the snowman, we will begin by making a magic ring containing six stitches. This will form the top of the snowman's head. After completing the magic ring, we will increase the number of stitches to create a round shape for the head.

Increasing Stitches

With the round shape of the head established, we will continue to increase the number of stitches in each round to make the snowman larger. The pattern will be displayed on the screen, allowing you to follow along at your own pace.

Eye Placement

Once we reach a certain point in the pattern, we will need to insert the safety eyes. These eyes will be set six stitches apart and will give the snowman his adorable expression. If you prefer, you can use buttons or embroider the eyes instead.

Stuffing the Snowman

Before closing up the snowman's head, we will take a moment to stuff him. This will give him a plump and cuddly appearance. Be sure to evenly distribute the stuffing to create a balanced shape.

Decreasing Stitches

After stuffing the snowman, we will decrease the number of stitches in each round to create the snowman's body. This will give him a tapered shape. Follow the pattern provided to complete this section.

Making the Scarf

Now that the snowman's body is complete, we can move on to making his scarf. Choose a color of yarn that complements the snowman's design. Start by creating a slip knot and chaining 41. Then, single crochet back and forth to create the length of the scarf.

Creating the Nose

To give our snowman a carrot-like nose, we will make a small piece using orange yarn. This will be attached between the eyes and will add a pop of color to the snowman's face.

Assembling the Snowman

With all the individual pieces made, it's time to put our snowman together. We will start by tying the scarf around his neck and securing it with a knot. Then, we will sew the nose in place between the eyes. Take your time to ensure everything is aligned correctly.

Adding Accessories

To add some personality to our snowman, we can attach accessories such as hats or ear muffs. In this tutorial, I will show you how to attach a hat. However, feel free to get creative and add your own unique touch to your snowman.

Conclusion

And there you have it, your very own adorable snowman! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it easy to follow. These snowmen make wonderful decorations for the holiday season.
