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.

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. :-)
