A few notes:
 I do not have a pattern for the nose, only basic guidelines. It was

free crochet and done on the fly since it was so small and the

tube was so tight.

I am only providing guidelines on how to assemble his body

parts. Always leave a long tail so you can sew the different parts

together. I liked sewing the parts together at rounds 5 or 6 to

give him a more squashy look, but since Olaf can be assembled

in a million different ways depending on his mood and what you

want him to be doing, this exercise is really left up to the reader.

The eyes are white felt pieces cut into 3/4 circles, with small

holes cut slightly off center and a safety eye pushed through the

hole. The safety eye + felt is then installed centered between

rounds 19 and 20 of the head piece.

Once Im done using the end tails to assemble or secure the

pieces, I sew directly into and out the back of the stuffed piece

Im working on so the yarn is pulled into the stuffing. When I pull

the needle out and cut the yarn, the end sort of shrinks back into

the stuffing.

The parts are worked in continuous rounds.

BUTTONS:
Work 6 sc in magic circle (or free crochet into magic circle).

Fasten off, leaving a long end to sew onto bodies.

ARMS:
With yarn already attached to hook (and leaving a slight tail), insert hook

through a stitch in the Upper Body and complete a slip stitch.

Chain 13. In second chain from hook, slip stitch in next 2 stitches.

Chain 4. In second chain from hook, slip stitch in next 3 stitches.

Chain 4. In second chain from hook, slip stitch in next 3 stitches.

Chain 3. In second chain from hook, slip sitch in next 2 stitches.

Work 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches (should match the 3 fingers

previously made)

Work slip stitches in each stitch back to the base of the arm.

Fasten off and leave a bit of yarn. Tie the two tails (beginning tail and end

tail) to better secure the arm and stuff the ends into the body.

The instructions are the same for both hands, so one hand might look wonky,

cest la vie.
HAIR:
With yarn already attached to hook, insert hook through a stitch at the

top of the Head and complete a slip stitch.

Chain 3, 4 or 5 stitches depending on length of hair desired. Fasten off and

cut yarn.

EYEBROWS:
Using the tapestry needle and a length of brown yarn, embroider the

eyebrows over the eyes.

MOUTH:
The mouth you can free cut out of black felt, with an additional piece of white

felt for the tooth. You can cut the mouth shape any way youd like, or skip it

altogether if Olaf has his mouth closed. The tooth is always visible and is

rounded at the bottom. These pieces are hot-glued onto the head piece.
