There’s nothing cuter for Christmas than a mini crocheted Santa Claus with a fluffy beard! Why not make all the holiday-themed mini patterns and put them on your table or give them away as little favours for the little (or big) kids? We absolutely love Santa’s moustache and fuzzy eyebrows.

This crochet amigurumi pattern is written for beginners and neurodiverse crafters. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics, making it easier to understand what you need to do in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give our patterns a try! Available on Ravelry and our website.

Using DK yarn and a 3mm hook, our Santa Claus is approximately 9cm tall. The size will vary depending on yarn used and tension. All the pictures are at the end of the pattern to keep it printer-friendly.
