Santa Claus is a famous character who brings gifts to children around the world on Christmas Eve. He’s special because he spreads joy and kindness.
We love him because he represents the spirit of giving and generosity. He also embodies the magic and wonder of the holiday season.
Knitting a Santa toy can be fun and festive. It’s a way to bring the joy of Christmas into your home and create a cute decoration or gift.
Making a Santa toy allows you to express your creativity and add a personal touch to your holiday decorations. Plus, it’s a delightful way to bring smiles to both children and adults alike.

Pattern easy to follow, looks lovely once finished. States use 3mm needles for double knitting, very tight so changed to 4mm, much better.
