Free Crochet Pattern: Santa Clause Amigurumi

It’s less than a week to go until Christmas and I finally made it to finish a pattern for a sweet little Santa Claus for you. Well, actually I made two versions, one small and one large Santa, but the numbers I provide in this pattern are for the smaller (and shorter) version.

Freie Häkelanleitung: Weihnachtsmann

Es ist der vierte Advent und so gerade ebenrechtzeitig, schaffe ich es, euch eine Anleitung für einen niedlichen gehäkelten Weihnachtsmann fertig zu machen. Ok, er sieht ein bisschen Hippsta-mäßig aus mit den wallenden Haaren und dem kurzen penibel geshavten Bart. Aber mal ehrlich: ist er nicht zauberhaft 😉 Wer es etwas weniger hippsta mag, kann die Haare weglassen und die Mütze einfach so auf den Kopf setzen. Ich habe einen großen, langen Weihnachtsmann und eine kleinen kurzen auf diese Weise gehäkelt. Die Zahlen hier gelten für den kleinen, kurzen. Wer den großen Santa häkeln möchte, nehme Nadelstärke 2,5 (mit passender …

As you might have noticed, I’m already in to my crocheting for Christmas this year – after all, I want to publish some Christmas patterns here, before the first advent calendars are hanging. When I was a little girl, my mom always used to put some little things in my calendar which could be hung into the Christmas tree. I thought, this made the decoration of the tree one day before Christmas eve really special. So if you want to put some small decoration items into your DIY calendar or if you just want to make your home a little …
