How to make your own SNOWGIE!!!




How to make your own SNOWGIE!


Snowgie hanging out with OLAF
If you are anything like me, you fell in LOVE with Snowgies when you saw Frozen Fever. The little guys who pop out every time Elsa sneezes to cause trouble stole my heart and I knew I needed one of my own. I figured they looked simple enough, so I made up a simple pattern to share.

To assemble: 

Stuff the head and body and sew together using a yarn needle. Next stuff and sew on both feet. they should be to the side of the body and not right underneath. VERY IMPORTANT-The head is the larger ball so make sure you don't sew the feet to the head. Next take your black felt and fold in half and cut out a circle. It shouldn't be a perfect circle as the Snowgies eyes are kind of blockish. Then shape your blue felt into a mouth and the white into a tooth. Glue onto the Snowgie with a hot glue gun. Make sure the eyes are lower down on the head about two thirds of the way down. You can always reference a picture from google as I did :0) Happy crocheting!
