CROCHET PATTERN + VIDEO Wheat Stitch Santa Claus | One Piece Body | Faux Fur Beard | Stuffed Santa | Christmas Decor | Instant Pdf Download

Wheat Stitch Santa Claus Crochet Pattern, the jolliest guy on the mantel, with a braided Wheat Stitch texture from head to toe.

Santa stands about 10 inches tall, with a black Wheat Stitch belt, a twine buckle, a fluffy faux fur beard, and a ribbed stocking hat topped with a pompom. He looks right at home on a mantel, a cake stand, or a holiday tray, and he's even cuter next to Mrs. Claus.

He's worked in one piece from the top of his head down, switching colors as the body grows, so there's no sewing a body together. His beard ties on with simple lark's head knots, so you never have to crochet with fur.
