Assembly and Finishing

Amigurumi Santa Claus crochet pattern

  • When crocheting the body, in round 11 we worked 30 sc through the back loops only. Now attach red yarn to the front loops and crochet two rounds of 30 sc. Then change to Alize Softy and crochet two rounds of 30 dc.
  • When crocheting the arms, in round 6 we worked 6 sc through the back loops only. Now attach Alize Softy to the front loops and make one sc inc in each stitch (12). For the second round, simply work 12 sc.
  • Sew the pom-pom to the hat.
  • Sew the hat to the head. I fold the long part of the hat and sew it to the head.
  • Make the beard with Alize Softy, placing two strands in each stitch so it looks fuller.
  • Add blush to the cheeks.
  • Embroider the eyebrows.
