Now, let’s start creating your own Santa Amigurumi!
Step 1: Head and Body
Let’s start with our Santa Claus’s head and body.
1.1. Head:
With the red thread, make a magic ring.
Crochet 6 double crochets inside the magic ring.
Increase to 12 single crochets in the next round.
Continue increasing evenly with each round until you have the desired head circumference.
1.2. Body:
With the red thread, make another magic ring.
Crochet 6 double crochets inside the magic ring.
Increase to 12 single crochets in the next round.
Continue increasing evenly with each round until you get the desired body size.
Step 2: Beard and Belt
2.1. Beard:
With the white thread, make a chain of 50 or more, depending on the desired beard size.
Attach the beard to the face of Santa’s head.
2.2. Belt:
With the black thread, make a chain of about 40 or so for the belt.
Fasten the belt around Santa’s waist.
Step 3: Eyes and Nose
3.1. Eyes:
With the black thread, make two small circles and attach them to the head for the eyes.
Using white yarn, make stitches for the sparkles in the eyes.
3.2. Nose:
With the red thread, make a small circle and attach it below the eyes for the nose.
Step 4: Hat and Pom Pom
4.1. Hat:
With the red yarn, start with a chain of about 30 or so (depending on the size you want) for the base of the hat.
Work in double crochets along the chain until you have the shape of a Santa hat.
4.2. Pom Pom:
Make a small pom-pom with the white yarn and attach it to the tip of the hat.
Step 5: Final Assembly
5.1. Assemble the pieces: Sew the head, body, hat, beard and belt together to form Santa Claus.
5.2. Filling: Stuff Santa with stuffing for shape and fluffiness.
5.3. Finishing Touch: Decorate the belt with a small piece of gold thread or a buckle and adjust the details as desired.
