Being a Christmas day Baby I’ve always loved Christmas and that magical time of the year. I actually believed my mum when she told me that Santa had bought me as her Christmas present that year. I was 21 before I realised lol. Ok I wasn’t 21 but even today I
tell my Grandchildren that Santa brought me in his sack. I just love Christmas so this year I’ve turned Santa into a Gonk.

He’s not too difficult to knit. You’d only need basic stitch knowledge i.e. knit, purl, stocking stitch, garter, cast off etc. He’s been a fun knit to do. I do hope you’ll enjoy him as much as I have.

He is knitted flat using 3mm needles and DK yarn. I’ve given him a lovely pair of glasses and have included a link within the pattern to the ones I used. I also used a buckle, again I’ve included a link. If you prefer though you can add a button to his belt instead.
