Santa’s Washing/Laundry Line Pattern is the perfect festive make for Christmas. It is an advanced beginner pattern using US crochet terms and written in English.

I have made this quirky garland to sell at Christmas craft markets for the past few years and it has always been my quickest seller! Therefore, you are permitted to sell finished products from this pattern on a small scale.

It is popular with both children and adults alike - who doesn’t want Santa’s underpants on their mantelpiece at Christmas?!

It is very quick to make and has been tested by a team of pattern testers.

The pattern comprises of instructions for:
Santa’s Tunic
Santa’s Trousers
Santa’s Vest
Santa’s Underpants
Santa’s Hat
Santa’s Socks
Santa’s Gloves

The instructions are written comprehensively with photo guides to help.

Materials required:
1 ball of red DK (light worsted #3) yarn (any brand – I used Stylecraft Special DK)
1 ball of white DK yarn (again, any brand)
Small scrap of black DK yarn
Small scrap of gold/yellow yarn or thread
A 3mm (D/3) or 4mm (G/6) hook – depending on your preference as to how small you want the stitches to be. Both hook sizes work fine for the pattern.
Darning needle
1m of twine or string
Mini wooden pegs
Scissors
Stitch marker
Small white pom pom
