This is one of my favorite crochet holiday decorations! This adorable crochet Santa pattern is a remake of a vintage pattern. Santa measures 14 inches tall in total and is a beginner crochet pattern. The pattern includes step-by-step instructions and clear photos, so even beginners can create this adorable Santa. He is perfect use as a shelf sitter, doorstop or giving as a gift. This crochet Santa is made with medium weight yarn and a size H crochet hook. He is stuffed with cotton but you can use a heavy small stone or sandbag to weigh him down for a doorstop.
