 Welcome to the magical world of amigurumi!
Get comfortable in a cozy chair, grab your favorite
hook and let's begin to work wonders together!
I will show you how to make a cute Santa.
I am very interested in what you can do, so tag me
on social media as the pattern designer and use the
hashtag #dunaeva_santa. I will share your work in
stories. For inspiration, under the hashtag
#dunaeva_santa, you can see the finished Santa
made by other makers.

only. You own the toys made with this pattern, so
you have the right to distribute them at your
discretion.
We will crochet our Santa in continuous rounds. It is
essential to crochet tightly: so that there are no gaps
between the stitches. If you can't crochet tight
enough, try using a smaller hook.
Distribute the stuffing evenly around the detail. Don't
stuff it too tight.

The size of a toy would be approx 22 cm if using

indicated materials.
