DIMENSION
The size will vary, depending on the yarn used. If you use the same materials as I did, the finished amigurumi
is about 9 cm tall when on the snowman side, and 6.5 cm tall when on the cupcake side.

SPECIALTECHNIQUE

Invisible Finish
After completing the last st, cut the yarn Skip 1st
Last st
and pull on the loop to draw the tail. Using
the tapestry needle, skip the next st, and
insert the needle from front to back, under Back loop of
last st
both loops. Go back to the last st, and insert
the needle through the back loop of this st.
Pull on the tail.

Here is the result of

invisible finish

Color Changing While Working in Rows

When changing the yarn color while working Picture 1 Result:
in rows, do not use tapestry technique (a Yarn tail from
previous color
technique where the non-working color is is behind the work

hidden within the stitches/along the back of

the work).
There are 2 options to manage the tail of
the previous yarn color:
1. Everytime you change the yarn color,
leave the previous yarn at the back of
your work (see picture 1).
Picture 2 Result:
2. Everytime you change the yarn color,
leave the previous yarn towards the
front before you take the new yarn (see
picture 2).
For this project I did the first option. But it’s
up to you to choose between these options.
Yarn tail from
previous color is in
front of the work
