Santa Claus
ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but unsure of their felting skills. I’ve recently started a newsletter where I answer customer’s questions and provide tips on felting, as well as announce new patterns and provide substantial newsletter-only discounts.

…………………………………………………………………………………………
There is nothing that says Christmas more than a hand crafted Santa! This one is knit in the round with a double strand of worsted wool yarn, then felted in a washing machine. His eyes and beard are added post-felting, then he is stuffed with fiberfill. The pattern has written instructions as well as schematics to aid you every step of the way. Santa is knit without any seams- the only sewing is closing one opening at the end, and attaching his hat and belt.
