Hey there, crochet friends! 🎄
Winter is truly here and I’ve been wrapped up in cosy yarny goodness, dreaming up seasonal makes to bring extra cheer to your festive gifting — and today I’m thrilled to introduce a sweet and snuggly little project: the Snowman Chocolate Orange Cosy! 🍊☃️ You may notice that I use both cosy and cozy throughout this post – that’s simply because people prefer different spellings, and I want everyone to feel at home here.
Pin for Later:
This jolly fellow is the perfect way to dress up a chocolate orange (or even an apple!), making an adorable stocking filler, teacher gift, or table decoration this holiday season. I’ve made several of these to give as gifts over the years but I’ve only just got around to writing it up – but just in time for some last minute gift making!
🎁 Why You’ll Love Him
Isn’t he just the cutest? I adore how this snowman strikes a balance between whimsical and wonderfully practical — he’s small, quick to hook up, and instantly adds festive charm wherever he goes. Under the tree, tied to a present, or on a winter dessert table… he’s sure to bring a smile. ☺️
This cosy works up in amigurumi-style crochet which gives him a nice snuggly fit around your chocolate orange (and keeps the sweet treat nice and secure!).
Skill Level: Beginner–Intermediate – if you’re comfortable working in the round and adding a few embellishments like eyes, scarf, and hat, then you’re good to go!
🧶 What You’ll Need
- DK weight yarn in white (for the snowman body)
- A splash of colour yarns (for scarf and hat)
- Crochet hook – size to suit your yarn (I used a 3.5 mm hook / US size E/4)
- Black embroidery thread and 2 x 8mm safety eyes
- A little orange or carrot-coloured yarn for the nose 🍊
- a tapestry needle
- Bonus: A stitch marker makes working in the round a breeze!
- Finished Size: Designed to fit a standard chocolate orange, but you can adjust with thicker yarn or a bigger hook for a more generous cosy.
