SNOWBALL, THE SMILING SNOWMAN pattern + 2021Dear friends. let me introduce myself My name is Kseniya, and for past four years crocheting has been my hobby. I'm absolutely obsessed with crocheting Amigurumi toys and photographing my toys in the best way to present my creations. Perhaps, the idea to combine these two kinds of expressing myself is the true reason why I'm so obsessed with amigurumi and that is why we are both here to crochet a smiling snowman - Mr. Snowbal Only in last year I've decided to start preparing for every holiday in advance by crocheting someone new. And this is my second Christmas project. It was a quite interesting thing to create such good knowing character like a snowman and make him different in the same time. Someone says crafters create something that looks like they do. Something that is inspired with their own vision and soul. And here we are - goofy buddies. What can be more symbolic, right? Now | would like you to share with me the experience in creating something new and cute! It's time to create your own smiling snowman Mr Snowball, he will bring only good vibes and memories to you.

It can be need more 50 gr. These materials are only a_ list of my recommendations to help you create the toy like mine. You can use any type/size of the yarn and the hook, but you must understand it will affect the toy’s final look. Kseniya Krupskaya + MR. SNOWBALL, THE SMILING SNOWMAN pattern - 2021I have used strong invisible glue and two kinds of the wire: 1.Thin enough for some tiny accessories - it's a florist wire 0.45-0.95 mm dia. 2. Cuprum wire 2-2.5mm dia for doll's skeleton. But on this doll | have use the floristic wire 0.95mm only. You don't have to use a glue (for bukcet bottom) or a wire. Your doll can be made without them. But please pay attention, that if you don't use a wire - your doll will not be able to bend its arms and neck. Kseniya Krupskaya + MR.

SNOWBALL, THE SMILING SNOWMAN pattern - 2021factors to define how much yarn you need 1. The first and the most obvious factor is a crochet hook size. If you use the yarn mentioned in the materials list and a crochet hook size other than recommended one, it will affect the amount of yarn necessary for your project If you choose a larger crachet hook, then you will need more yarn and if you go for a smaller crochet hook - then you will need less yarn than it is specified in the materials list 2. The second factor ~ your typical tension when crocheting. The gauge and tension is going to make a difference with the amount of used yarn because you get more or less space between stitches. The tighter your stitches are, the less yarn you need. 3. The third and very important condition - your stitches shape: V-shape, X- shape/semi-X. The stitch shape depends on what crochet technique you use - yarn over or yarn under the hook. If you wrap the thread, placing the hook underneath the yarn strand (Yarn Under - circular movement of the haok from the right to the left) — this makes V-shaped stitch, if you put the hook over the yarn strand (Yarn Over - circular movement from the right to the left) — this makes X-shaped stitches, and if you make yarn under then yarn over, this technique gives us semi-X stitches. You will need much more yarn for the fabric made in Yarn Over technique compared with the amount needed for Yarn Under technique Why did | specify the yarn density in the materials list? If you don’t have the same brand that | recommend, you should use the yarn weight as substitution with any risk of miscalculation for the toy and clothes sizes. Video how to make semi-X stitches You can scan or tap on this QR-code and other ones to watch videos Kseniya Krupskaya + MR. SNOWBALL, THE SMILING SNOWMAN pattern - 2021instructions st = stitch ine = increase (with the MR = magic ring same type of stitches which ch/teh = chain/turning chain we use in rnd) sl st = slip stitch BLO = crochet into back sc = single crochet loops only hdc = half double crochet FLO = crochet into front de = double crochet loops only tr = treble crochet CL = cluster stitch (4 dc dec = decrease (with the joined at the top) ‘ same type of stitches which shift stitch - extra regular we use in rnd) stitch The number in brackets at the end of every round means a total number of stitches in the round, (..) * 2 - means that you should repeat the combination of stitches n times. In this pattern we use US terminology. Choose the correct hook size which is appropriate for the yarn you are going to use. Your choice can be different from mine, but please pay attention to the fact, that the size of the toy and the clothes will be different when you use other yarn and another hook size. Use a stitch marker for your convenience and rounds counting The toy is crocheted in semi-X stitches. Shift stitches are calculated precisely for this technique. If you crochet the stitches with Yarn Overs, then You will need to determine the symmetry of the pieces and the number of shift stitches and their location by yourself. Stuff all the pieces as you go, tight (unless otherwise stated), gradually adding small portions of stuffing and forming necessary shapes of pieces. About yarn change. | recommend to change color in the last stitch of a round, before you start the round with a new color. Work this last stitch with thread of a new color in the following way: pull up a loop with the yarn you're working with end then finish with yarn of new color. About increases. | make invisible increases - work in FLO, but it's easier to make classic increases in some stitches - in both loops. The doll is 26 cm/10.2 inches tall without the bowler hat or the bucket in case of using the materials listed and crocheting in semi-X stitch. Kseniya Krupskaya + MR. SNOWBALL, THE SMILING SNOWMAN pattern - 2021how to make an invisible edge Here | want to show you how | end the crocheting in the rounds by making invisible edge. 1, Insert the needle in stitch 2 stitches before your last one. Pull it out. 2. Insert the needle between front and back loops of the stitch before your last one, Pull it out. 3. Make sure the thread is tight enough.

Leave a long enough tail of the thread when you will finish with 1st leg in case you will change your mind about its quantity, and DON'T CUT THE THREAD on the 2nd leg. How to make a right quantity of stitches? Put the legs on the desk and fold their upper parts (pic. 6). The stitches which are placed in the middle of the inner fold are the stitches you should connect with the chain in 27th rnd. Mark them. Now crochet the necessary amount of stitches from the end of 25th round till the marker pin (it will be unfull round 26). | have 11 sc on the 1st leg and 16 sc on the 2nd one. Kseniya Krupskaya + MR.

But first mark 11 stitches in the middle of the front side of the body and 11 stitches in the middle of the back side. There also must be 7 stitches between each of 11 stitches for the arms (pic 14) As you can see on the picture 15 my marker of the rounds was placed between markers for the arms, so | made some shift stitches {till the pink marker, where starts 11 st of the back) to start round 70. So please pay your attention on that part. Only you can decide how many shift stitches will you need (if you will need them). 15 Kseniya Krupskaya + MR.

Look at the picture 16, You must place the arms in these 7 stitches on the side of the body and crochet through the body and half part of the arm according to this combination: 36 se (36) It means (depending on where your marker of rnd is) you have to crochet 11 st along back part of the body, 7 stitches through the 1st arm and the body, another 11 stitches along the front part of the body and 7 sc through the 2nd arm and the body 71.
