Crochet a classic two-ball snowman about 6 in tall. Head and body are one piece, worked in a continuous spiral of single crochet from the top of the head down: a ball, a neck, a bigger ball, closed at the bottom and stuffed in two stages so he stands on his own. Then a carrot nose, a one-piece top hat, a scarf, twig arms and coal buttons. Make one, or a family in three sizes of yarn.

Materials and supplies
- Worsted (#4) yarn: white about 75 yd, black about 20 yd, red about 20 yd, a few yards of orange
- 4 mm (G/6) crochet hook, or one size smaller than your yarn label suggests
- Black felt or black yarn for the eyes and buttons (or 8 mm safety eyes)
- Two twigs about 4 in, or brown pipe cleaners
- Polyester fiberfill, a stitch marker, a yarn needle, scissors, pins and a little glue
Skill level
Beginner. Single crochet, increase and decrease in a spiral, plus a chain and a slip-stitch round for the hat and scarf. If you can make a magic ring and a sphere, you can make this.
Finished size
- About 6 in tall without the hat and 3⅞ in across, in worsted (#4) yarn with a 4 mm hook
- DK (#3) yarn and a 3.5 mm hook make a 5 in snowman; bulky (#5) and a 5.5 mm hook about 9 in. The rounds are the same.
Pattern notes
- Written in US crochet terms
- Gauge is not critical, but work tightly so the stuffing does not show
- The face and buttons are felt or French knots, so he is safe for little ones; the booklet says where safety eyes go if you prefer them
Printing
- Sized for US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). The body is on one page and the parts on the next, so you can print just those two or keep them open on your phone.
