Super Simple Santa Stuffy Crochet pattern, digital file PDF, digital pattern PDF

This super simple santa stuffy is just that: a cute and jolly santa amigurumi that’s fun and fast to make. Sit him on your desk, hang him from your tree, or give him to a friend! Follow the alternative instructions to create an opening at the bottom to turn your ornament into a gift bag for candies or other treats which are “stuffed” inside santa’s tummy!
The pattern is made using mostly double crochet stitches, worked in the round in the amigurumi method, with simple colour changes, and finished with an embroidered face. It uses small amounts of yarn only, so it’s ideal for using up your yarn stash.
This is a revised version of my earlier pattern, ‘Santa Stuffy’, published on Love Crochet 2016.
The pattern uses UK terms and includes picture guides. Listed yarns are suggestions only.
