Hi everyone! You will find on this page a crochet Santa Claus amigurumi pattern. You have asked if I could make more Christmas amigurumi and I have decided to make a Christmas mini-collection. It works really fast and it is perfect for a last-minute crochet project! This crochet doll collection is adorable and we will want to make them all. Lucky for you, they are easy and small crochet patterns! You will be able to make them all really quickly!

The body is made in one part, so if you don’t like sewing many parts, it is the perfect crochet project for you.

Don’t forget to join my facebook group,  you can ask your questions, and share your finished projects. I will regularly ask you what pattern you would like to see next (or you can even suggest something even if I am not asking!).

I hope you will enjoy and understand the pattern. If you have any questions, feel free to write to me, I will try my best to help you. And I would love to see your work!

Pattern: How to crochet a Santa Claus Amigurumi?

We start with the head and finish with the bottom of the body.

The head and the body – Santa Claus Amigurumi Pattern

• Round 11: [1 sc, 1 dec] x6. (12)

Place the eyes between rounds 6 and 7, spaced by 3 stitches.

With the tapestry needle and the white pearl cotton, make the eyebrows over the eyes, and the scar on the forehead.

Facultative: with a little piece of peach yarn, make a nose.

Join a new color, red. We are now doing the body.

• Round 12: working in the back loop only (blo): [1 sc in all st]. (12)
• Round 13: [1 sc, 1 inc] x6. (18)

Fill the head.

Fill the body as you go.

Join a new color, black. We are now doing the belt.

• Rounds 17-18: [1 sc in all st]. (18)

Join a new color, red. We are now doing the lower body.

We are now adding a row in the front loop of round 24. This will allow your doll to stand up. You can skip this step if you don’t want it to stand up.

Join the black yarn in any front loop of Round 24 (I would suggest joining in a loop in the back so it won’t be too visible).

• Round 27: working in the front loop only (flo): [2 sc, 1 inc] x6. (24)

Finish with a slip stitch in the first st of round 27 and fasten off.

With the tapestry needle and the yellow yarn, make a ring around the belt.

If you have a pompom maker, make a little white pompom and sew it to the top of the hat.

If you prefer, you can use a white pompom and glue it at the top of the hat.

Fold the hat and make a little stitch with your tapestry needle and the red yarn to make sure it stays like that.
