This Big Father Christmas gets lots of cuddles!

He stands 64 cm (25 inches) tall.

This is a fun project to make for children. All double knitting yarn and the body, arms, head and hat are knitted using the magic loop technique of circular knitting which avoids lots of sewing up! Full instructions and photos are given in the pattern.
