A knitted snowman is a symbolic toy that can be used to decorate a room, give it to friends, or use it as a Christmas tree decor. This hero of winter fairy tales is not inferior in popularity to Santa Claus and his granddaughter the Snow Maiden. In addition, tying a snowman on your own will not be difficult even for beginners.
To make such a toy, regardless of the chosen scheme or master class, you will need the following.
Knitting tools and materials
- white threads for the body (wool, acrylic, iris), one snowman (depending on the size) will need 30-50 g of yarn;
- leftovers of threads of different colors for decorative elements (mittens, boots, scarf, hat, etc.);
- hook;
- thread with a needle to sew individual parts;
- scissors;
- filler for bulky toys (holofiber, synthetic winterizer or other suitable material);
- beads, buttons, or something else that can be used for the eyes.
A flat snowman couldn't be easier!
Crocheted snowmen can be voluminous or flat. The latter can become a stylish kitchen pot holder, an element of a New Year's panel or a greeting card. To make a flat snowman, it is enough to master only the description of one pattern - a knitted circle. Then, by varying its dimensions, you can assemble a simple toy from two blanks of different diameters. Its decoration can be knitted or made from buttons, satin ribbons and other materials at hand.

Schemes description of volumetric snowmen
Knitting voluminous snowmen using the amigurumi technique is more difficult, but even here you can find a craft for your level of crocheting. The main elements of the toy will be the head and torso. The head is a white ball, but the body can be either in the form of a ball of a larger diameter or repeating the outlines of the human body. You can knit the head and torso separately, and then sew together or knit without interruption. The arms and legs of a snowman can also be made of balls of a smaller diameter.
Master class by Ekaterina Nikolaeva "Snowmen-Friends"
More experienced knitters can tie their snowman's hands with mittens, boots or skates on the feet, as described above. Mandatory attributes of such a winter toy are a head cap and a scarf. These elements can be crocheted or knitted from yarn of bright colors, or you can simply sew from felt or other fabric.
