Materials Needed

Before we begin, gather all your materials to ensure a smooth crafting experience. Here's what you'll need:

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in the following colors:
  • White (for the snowman bodies and heads)
  • Soft red (for scarves and heart motif)
  • Charcoal black (for eyes and smiles)
  • A small amount of orange (for carrot noses)
• Crochet Hook: 3.5mm (E) crochet hook
• Fiberfill: For stuffing the snowmen
• Stitch markers: To keep track of your rounds
• Yarn needle: For sewing pieces together and weaving in ends
• Scissors: For cutting yarn

Gauge: 4 sc x 4 rows = 1 inch. Gauge is not critical for amigurumi, but maintaining consistent tension is important for a neat, professional finish.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. Always use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds, as this will help you maintain accuracy throughout the project.

Snowman Body (Make 2)

Each snowman needs a plump, round body. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Round 1: With white yarn, make a magic ring, work 6 single crochet (sc) into the ring. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: (Sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around. (18 stitches)
4. Round 4: (Sc in next 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around. (24 stitches)
5. Round 5: (Sc in next 3 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around. (30 stitches)
6. Round 6: (Sc in next 4 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around. (36 stitches)
7. Rounds 7-12: Sc in each stitch around for 6 rounds. (36 stitches each round)
8. Round 13: (Sc in next 4 stitches, sc2tog) repeat around. (30 stitches) Note: sc2tog means single crochet two stitches together (a decrease).
9. Round 14: (Sc in next 3 stitches, sc2tog) repeat around. (24 stitches)
10. Round 15: (Sc in next 2 stitches, sc2tog) repeat around. (18 stitches)
11. Stuff firmly: Now is the time to stuff the body with fiberfill. Make sure it's packed tightly but not so much that it distorts the shape.
12. Round 16: (Sc in next stitch, sc2tog) repeat around. (12 stitches)
13. Round 17: Sc2tog around. (6 stitches)
14. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through a yarn needle, weave it through the front loops of the remaining 6 stitches, pull tight to close the hole, and secure. Do not cut the tail yet – you'll use it to attach the head.

Snowman Head (Make 2)

Each snowman gets a cute, round head. Here's how to make them:

1. Round 1: With white yarn, make a magic ring, work 6 sc into the ring. (6 stitches)
2. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
3. Round 3: (Sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around. (18 stitches)
4. Rounds 4-6: Sc in each stitch around for 3 rounds. (18 stitches each round)
5. Round 7: (Sc in next stitch, sc2tog) repeat around. (12 stitches)
6. Stuff the head firmly: Fill with fiberfill, shaping it into a nice round ball.
7. Round 8: Sc2tog around. (6 stitches)
8. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Weave the tail through the front loops of the remaining stitches, pull tight, and secure. Use this tail to sew the head to the top of the body, positioning it slightly offset so the two snowmen can look at each other when assembled.

Arms (Make 4)

These simple arms will allow your snowmen to embrace each other:

1. With white yarn, chain (ch) 6.
2. Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, sc in each chain across. (5 stitches)
3. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
4. Sew the arms to the sides of the bodies, positioning them so they can wrap around each other when the snowmen are placed facing each other.

Scarves (Make 2)

Add a pop of Valentine's red with these cozy scarves:

1. With red yarn, chain (ch) 30.
2. Starting in the 2nd chain from the hook, sc in each chain across. (29 stitches)
3. Fasten off.
4. Wrap the scarf around each snowman's neck, crossing the ends in front, and secure with a few small stitches using the yarn needle.

Heart Motif (Make 1)

This charming heart adds the perfect Valentine's touch:

1. Round 1: With red yarn, make a magic ring, work 4 sc into the ring. (4 stitches)
2. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (8 stitches)
3. Round 3: (Sc in next stitch, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around. (12 stitches)
4. Round 4: (Sc in next 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat around. (16 stitches)
5. Round 5: Sc in the next 4 stitches, then work 3 double crochet (dc) in the next stitch, 3 dc in the next stitch, sc in the next 4 stitches, 3 dc in the next stitch, 3 dc in the next stitch, sc in the next 4 stitches. (20 stitches) This creates the heart shape with the dc clusters forming the top bumps.
6. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a tail. Sew the heart to the chest of one snowman, or position it between them as they embrace for a sweet focal point.

Faces

Bring your snowmen to life with simple embroidered features:

• Eyes: Using black yarn, embroider two small French knots or straight stitches on each head. Position them about halfway down the head, spaced evenly apart.
• Nose: Using orange yarn, embroider a small carrot nose using a few straight stitches. Place it centered between the eyes.
• Smile: Using black yarn, embroider a curved smile below the nose. A simple curved line of backstitches works perfectly.

Assembly

Now it's time to bring your snowman duo together:

1. Position the two snowmen facing each other, with their arms overlapping as if they're hugging.
2. Sew the arms together at the hands to secure the embrace. Make sure the stitches are secure but not too tight, so the arms maintain their shape.
3. Optionally, add a small red heart button on each snowman's body for extra Valentine's charm.
4. Weave in all remaining ends using your yarn needle. Trim any excess yarn.

And there you have it – your very own Sweetheart Snowman Duo! These adorable amigurumi snowmen are perfect for Valentine's Day decor, a thoughtful handmade gift, or a sweet addition to your winter collection. The soft, plush texture of the worsted weight yarn makes them huggable and delightful to display.
