I know the seashell pattern was a bit more difficult than the other amigurumi designs in the Amigurumi Advent Calendar challenge, but this igloo takes it back to basics with an amigurumi worked in the round. The rounds are joined with a seamless join, which if you’re unfamiliar with this technique, can check out the Amigurumi Flan tutorial to see what a game-changer it is.

Once you have your little ice ball, face and all, you’ll need to embroider on the ice cube outlines. This is done freehand, and there are no specific rules on how big or small your back stitches should be. I kept the stitches to about 2 single crochet stitches wide and about 3 rows high, and tried to avoid stitching right through the face. But the stitching is where you add your own touch!

For this design, the door is an open tube that is sewn to the igloo. The other option would have been to make it an enclosed and stuffed doorway, but I chose to keep the door really simple. It is a simple tube that you add onto the igloo AFTER the ice cube embroidery is added, so you don’t have to worry about embroidering the door itself. I chose to sew it to the igloo in a bit of a triangle shape instead of an arch, but you can make it any shape you’d like.

And that’s it! If you have any trouble with this amigurumi, my Amigurumi Flan tutorial will be the most help.
