Assembly

• Sew the body and head together securely.
• Attach the feet to the bottom of the body so it can stand.
• Sew the buttons along the front of the body.
• Attach arms to the sides of the body.
• Attach the carrot nose to the middle of the head; embed it slightly so it points outward.
• Sew or glue eyes (beads) or embroider eyes, eyebrows with black floss.
• Sew hair/twigs on the top of the head.
• Embroider the mouth.
• Stuff all parts firmly but not overstuffed, so Olaf keeps shape but remains soft.
• Weave in all ends, trim surplus yarn.

Finishing Touches

• Make sure Olaf stands upright — adjust stuffing or placement of feet if needed.
• For extra charm: you can add little twig-arms of flexible pipe cleaners inside the brown yarn arms, or a small scarf.
• Feel free to size up or down by using thicker yarn/hook and adjusting the increases/decreases accordingly.

🪄 Additional Tips & Variations

• If you want a smaller Olaf, use a finer yarn and smaller hook. Adjust the stitch counts proportionally or stop increasing earlier.
• Change colors or add accessories (scarf, hat) for personalized version.
• Use safety eyes if the amigurumi is for a child; otherwise beads or embroidery work fine.
• When sewing head to body, make sure you catch enough stitches and secure well so head doesn’t wobble.
• When stuffing, fill body first before fully closing – shape it nicely so it’s slightly flattened at the base, helping it stand.
• For extra stability, you could insert a small cardboard circle at the base inside the feet, but optional.
• Enjoy the process and give Olaf his big friendly smile 🙂
