Guide to making SANTA AMIGURUMI:

1. The head, body and feet are made continuous, not broken.
2. The pattern starts from the head.
3. Enter the leg pattern, divide into 2 parts with the same number of stitches. Make the legs one by one following the pattern. Pay attention to the color of the thread used.
4. Next, make other equipment such as hats, belts, mustaches and beards.

We finished our pattern. You can send the finished pattern to me on facebook, instagram and pinterest.
