Santa Claus Amigurumi Pattern

Size

He measures about 18 inches tall when completed with a worsted weight yarn.

Want a bigger or smaller Santa? Use thicker or thinner yarn and a larger or smaller hook!

Difficulty

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. :-)

You can find links to sources for many of my favorite tools and supplies here.

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. 
• 12 mm black eyes 
• polyester stuffing 
• tapestry needle
• locking stitch markers (to count stitches and rounds)
• scrap of yellow felt
• craft glue

Yes!

Talk to Me

If you're hiring out any part of the process, please get in touch and we'll work out a fair licensing agreement.

For example, if you want to hire someone to help you crochet, or to do all the stuffing for you, those two scenarios would require a licensing agreement. Get in touch! I'm easy to talk to. :-) smile@shinyhappyworld.com
