This jolly fellow is quick to make for Christmas or as part of your wintry
display. He uses classic amigurumi techniques of magic rings and double
crochet stitches so is easy to make. Remember, we use British crochet
terminology, so our double crochet is the same as a US single crochet. Stuff
your snowman quite firmly so he stands upright.SPEEDY

a magic ring. First, make
a loop of yarn with the
tail hanging downwards
and the working yarn
overlapping in front.
Holding the loop in place,
insert the hook through
the centre of the loop
and pull the working yarn
through. Make one chain
stitch to secure, then work
into the ring as instructed,
making sure you work over
the top of the tail. After the
first round, pull the tail to
close the hole in the
centre of the ring.Magic
