Crochet some jolly Santa baubles for your Christmas
tree, or as little gifts for friends and family!

These baubles are super quick and easy to make. They’ll be perfect as classroom or workplace gifts, or Christmas craft stall fillers.

I have used Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky acrylic yarn
for the head and hat, with King Cole Cuddles Chunky
yarn in White for a fun scruffy looking beard and trim.

You can replace the White yarn with normal or
chenille style yarn, like James C Brett Flutterby, instead.

I have used Rico Creative Cotton Aran yarn for my face
details. You can use any Worsted/DK weight yarn or
embroidery floss instead.

My finished baubles measure approximately 3”/7.5cm wide (across the hat brim), and approximately 3.5”/9cm tall (with the tip of the hat folded over).

Gauge:
Exact gauge is not too important. Just try to keep your stitches compact. I have used a 5mm hook instead of the recommended 6mm for the yarns used.

You will need:
Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky acrylic yarn in your chosen Skin Tone colour for the head (approx. 25yds), and Red for the hat (approx. 15yds).
King Cole Cuddles Chunky in White for the hat trim and beard (approx. 50yds).
Aran/Worsted weight Cotton yarn or embroidery floss in Black and Pink/Red for the face details.
A 5mm hook,
Some toy stuffing - Polyester fibrefill,
Some ribbon for a hanging loop (or just use yarn),
A stitch marker,
A large eyed yarn needle,
Scissors.
