\"\"<\/a>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. If you want to do the large Santa, you should take hook sizes 2.5 were I wrote 0.75 and 3.0 instead of 1.0. Take DK yarn which is recommended for hook sizes 3.5-4.5. From R. 27 on go on to insert two rounds inbetween the rounds with the increases, so the body becomes longer. My Santa is actually looking abit like a hippsta with his white hair. Well, I like it this way, but if you want a more classic look for yours, just leave him bold underneath his hat. But I guess it’s high time to start now, Christmas will not wait for you to finish \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
