Supplies you'll need. . .

• crochet hook (size determined by yarn)
• 4 colors of worsted weight yarn - less than a skein each. The sample uses black, tan, white and red. 
• two pairs of 12mm black eyes 
• polyester stuffing 
• tapestry needle
• locking stitch markers (to count stitches and rounds)
• scrap of yellow felt
• craft glue

Santa is pretty easy to make, using mostly basic skills, but he does have some fancy shaping to make that chubby belly. It's not difficult, but for a few rounds there's a lot of stitch counting so you have to pay attention. :-)

These are the skills you'll need. . .

• single crochet
• decrease
• increase
• working the bottom side of a foundation chain
• changing colors

Don't worry - the PDF pattern has links to videos teaching you all the skills you'll need! And it contains progress photos of all the important steps, so you won’t get lost. :-)
