Funky Santa

PDF version

Christmas is coming and what better way to anticipate the fun than to make your very own Funky Santa.

Here is a pattern I have just made that I would like to share with you.


I used:
Yarn – Double knitting oddments in pink, red, burgundy, black, beige, yellow and lilac. White boucle yarn - Sirdar Snowflake.
Why be traditional – what interesting colours could you make him in?
Hooks – 3mm and 4.50mm.
Notions – toy stuffing, 3 buttons.

The pattern is available as a free  PDF.

If you pop over to the Ravelry pattern page, here, the pattern is also available  in Danish, Swedish and Dutch.



Watch out! He has his list and he’s checking it twice. I think I’ve been nice – well most of the time!

    Hello,

    My name is Cissi and I translate English amigurumi patterns into Swedish and publish them on my blog. I would like to translate your Santa and publish it in Swedish. People want to start crocheting for Christmas. I haven't looked very closely on the other patterns but I also liked Heidi Hedgehog and would like to translate that pattern too. I hope you give me permission to publish the patterns and you are welcome to visit me at http://amigurumipasvenska.blogspot.com . Of cause I link back the pattern to your blog.

    He's really cute. It's not often I want to make a Santa as I'm pagan, but I'm tempted with this one xx

    I just finished making my own Funky Santa, and I really enjoyed making it. (I realize its only the beginning of August, but your pattern looked like fun, so I wanted to try it, even though its not even close to Christmas) I wanted to say "Thank You!!!" for sharing you awesome pattern. It is very well written. I have taken pictures if you would like to see how mine turned out. Thanks again!

    Hi Susanna,
    Thank you for your messages. Firstly, yes please feel free to translate the pattern into Dutch and use it in your crochet club.
    Secondly, where the instructions say 'miss 1 ch' this means skip one. I hope this explains it.
    Best wishes,
    Janet

    I absolutely love this pattern. Thank you so much for sharing it and for the very clear step by step tutorial with great pictures! You are a rock star! I think I might try crocheting this with a different colored beard for a "generic" bearded man doll. It will work perfectly, and is not something I've seen yet. Thanks again!

    I am going to use this pattern to make a Judah Maccabe for Chanukah. The outfit in blue, brown fun fur for beard and a dreydle in his hand. The buttons will probably be 6 pointed stars in gold or white.
