This pattern will show you how to make your own no-sew small Santa and Elf which are the perfect size to hang as decorations on your Christmas tree. They are made in one piece so the only sewing involved is to add Santa’s belt buckle!

The pattern is written in American crochet terms and contain lots of photos to help you every step of the way. All of my patterns have been independently tested prior to publication.

You will need:
Yarn of your choice. I used dk weight yarn (equivalent to light worsted, weight 3) with a 4mm hook and my finished Santa measures approximately 10cm tall.

For the Santa decoration, you will need the following colours:

• Hat, jacket & trousers colour - I used red (approx. 9m).
• Beard, hair & trim colour - I used white (approx. 5m).
• Belt colour - I used black (approx. 1.25m).
• Skin colour - I used pink (approx. 1m).

For the Elf decoration, you will need the following colours:

• Hat & jacket colour - I used green (approx. 9m).
• Hat trim, collar & trousers colour - I used red (approx. 5m).
• Trouser stripe colour - I used white (approx. 1.75m).
• Hair colour - I used brown (approx. 2m).
• Skin colour - I used pink (approx. 2.5m).

Please note - The amount of yarn used will vary according to yarn weight, hook size and stitch tension so these measurements are only a rough guide. The pattern refers to the colours that I used, however these can be substituted for colours of your choice.

You will also need:

• A suitable size hook for the yarn you have chosen - I used a 4mm hook.
• 6mm black safety eyes.
• A small amount of toy stuffing.
• If you wish to add the belt buckle, you will need a small amount of gold / yellow yarn or thread.
• A small length of string / twine / yarn to use as a hanging loop.
• Other tools you will need are a needle and some scissors.
