Day 2 of the Mini Amigurumi Advent is here, and today's pattern is a cute little snowman complete with a top hat and tiny carrot nose.
We started off yesterday with the Tiny Tree, and now a little Snowman joins the group. Just like all of the project in this series he is pretty little, only about 4" tall. You could easily add a little hanger on top to turn him into a Christmas ornament.
The snowman head and body are made in one piece from the bottom up, with the arms, scarf, nose, and hat made separately and sewn on.
All you need is a little white yarn, some black, orange, and any color you want for the little scarf and hat ban, plus a little stuffing. These projects use a small amount of yarn so they are great for using up leftover bits you have in your stash. I used small 6 mm safety eyes for my snowman (which is what I am using for almost all of the patterns in this series) but you could also embroider the eyes on if you prefer.
