Find here an easy crochet pattern to make Santa
Hi everyone! You will find on this page a crochet Santa pattern. It is time to increase the number of my Christmas crochet patterns. This little Santa works really fast and it is perfect for a last-minute crochet project! This crochet doll collection is adorable. You will be able to make them all really quickly!
The body is made in one part, so if don’t like sewing a lot of parts, it is the perfect crochet project for you. You will only have to sew the arms and the hair!
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!
