Assembling

Whenever I assemble amigurumi, I use sewing pins to position all parts in the right place. This way I can easily move them around until I am happy, then I will sew them on. I recommend you would do the same.

Sew the head to the body. With a piece of Beige scrap yarn, make a nose.
If you want to sew on some detail on the hat like I did, you can either do it now, or after you’ve sewn it one, depends on your preference. Sew the hat on.
Sew on his hands and feet and you are already done, so easy, yet so cute.

I hope you enjoyed this Snowball spirit pattern?! If you made him, don’t forget to show me your creation on social media! I’d love to see!

Love
