The Triangular Santa is an easy peasy scrap yarn project. It comes in two versions: if worked on circular needles & Magic Loop method it makes a cute little 3-dimensional red&white thingy which you could hang on your Xmas tree, use to accompany presents or put on your mantelpiece if you are fortune enough to own one. If worked flat it makes a small triangular Santa which you could glue to a piece of paper to make a nice Christmas card. In either case, it will add a personal homeknitted touch to your Christmas!

MATERIALS NEEDED

• a pair of 4.5mm (US 7) circular needles
• a small amount of red yarn in worsted weight
• a small amount of white yarn in bulky weight
• 1 marker
• 1 tapestry needle
• a small amount of toy stuffing
• toy eyes or buttons or black embroidery floss for eyes

GAUGE & SIZE
The examples shown were knit with 4.5mm (US 7) needles and worsted weight yarn and they measure about 7X10cm (3X4inches). BUT GAUGE ISN’T IMPORTANT for this project: any yarn weight and matching needle size would work as long as the gauge is tight. To make smaller Santas just use lighter weight yarns and adjust needle size accordingly.
