SHELF SITTERS #06 - SANTA

Note: I uploaded the English version to Ravelry.
The German version is available through Etsy and DaWanda. :-)

❤ This listing is for the PDF pattern, not the finished toy! ❤

✿ ✿ ✿
He fits through every chimney and in every sock… but he prefers to decoratively sit around somewhere watching the hustle and bustle of the winter holidays.

Santa is part of my Shelf Sitters Collection.

The Shelf Sitters never stay in one place for long here though. My kids are just too fascinated by them and love to play with them. :)

Easy and fast to crochet, and a real eye-catcher on every shelf. The perfect present during the christmas holidays, or just for fun. :)

❤ Size: 8cm
The size depends on the gauge and yarn you’re using.
I’m using Puppets Lyric yarn from Coats and a 3 mm hook.

❤ The pattern contains lots of reference pictures and step-by-step-instructions.

❤ Crochet pattern in PDF format, available in two languages:

English: US crochet terms, English texts and descriptions
or
German: German crochet terms, German texts and descriptions

❤ info:
The figure is mostly crocheted in continuous rounds/spirals;
rounds are not joined;
use a stitch-marker to mark the beginning of each round;

❤ you should be familiar with:

  • single crochet
  • double crochet
  • slip stitch
  • crocheting in back loop (instructions included)
  • changing yarn-color (instructions included)
  • increase and (invisible) decrease
  • surface crocheting (instructions included)
  • you should also have some embroidery and sewing skills

❤ needed materials:

  • crochet hook (size depends on your yarn)
