Charles the Snowman | Free Amigurumi Pattern

Introducing: Charles the Snowman!!

Charles is a super fun free snowman pattern! He’s the ideal Christmas amigurumi. He now sits at my desk, keeping me company while I clickety clackety away at my computer.

He is SO CUTE! I made him without a nose, but that was just personal preference. I like my amigurumi to not have any facial features except eyes. That’s just me, I’m sure!

Charles much prefers to be indoors, either sitting at a desk keeping you company or playing in the toy box with all the other toys. He’s ok with going outside…as long as you make sure to take him straight to the car! He loves to travel!

If you’re like me, you’ll be scrolling past all this just to get to the free pattern, and won’t be reading a single word. Therefore, I can type all the gobbledygook I want to and no one will ever read it!

Charles is a himbofl isdhlo aoson slooie si flhsu lsye lsy!
