I named this little snowman Edward Frostbite! It's such a funny name! He will look good as an ornament snowman, or as a decoration. This would also make a great toy for kids, and I am sure this cute snowman can put a smile on their faces.

A friendly little guy that you can make for Christmas. If you have been following my work, you know that I like quick and easy patterns, and this is one of them! I stitched up this amigurumi snowman in less than 30 minutes.

Materials

You only need small amounts of yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook. I used sports weight yarn and my snowman is about 8 cm tall. I used safety eyes (8mm) for the eyes and 6 mm as buttons for the body.

The pompom is made with a pompom maker and I love this handy tool! It makes the pompoms more fluffy, I find!

Also, you are gonna need some filling materials and yarn in the color of your choice.
