Make Your Own Amigurumi Santa Claus Doll – Crochet Recipe for Beginners
Welcome to a journey of creativity and comfort in the world of crochet! In this tutorial, we will show you how to make an adorable Amigurumi Santa Claus Doll, perfect for decorating your home or giving as a gift to someone special this Christmas. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner at crochet, as we’ll guide you step by step with easy-to-understand instructions. So, grab your needles and thread and let’s get started!
Necessary materials:
Red and white wool yarn
Crochet hook (size suitable for the chosen yarn)
Black yarn for eyes and mouth
Filling (filling fiber or cotton)
Scissors
tapestry needle
Stitch markers (optional)
Step 1: Starting the Body
Let’s start by creating Santa’s body. With the red thread, make a magic ring (or a slip knot) and work 6 single crochets (sc) inside the ring. Then pull the loose end to close the ring.
Step 2: Increases
In the next round, make 2 sc in each stitch from the previous round. Use a point marker to track the start of each round.
Step 3: Alternating Increases
Now, make a sc in one stitch and 2 sc in the next stitch, repeating until the end of the round.
Step 4: Main Body
Continue to sc in each stitch for approximately 5-6 rounds, depending on the desired size of Santa’s body.
Step 5: Color Change
Once you are satisfied with the size of the body, switch to white yarn. Make one or two rounds of dc with the white yarn to create the top of Santa’s coat.
Step 6: Decreases
Now, let’s start decreasing the number of stitches to create the bottom of the coat. Make a sc and then a sc2tog (two double crochets together), repeating until the end of the round.
Step 7: Finalization
Stuff Santa’s body with stuffing until it is firm but not too tight. Continue to decrease until the opening is almost closed. Cut the thread, leaving a small excess, and use the tapestry needle to sew the remaining opening.
Step 8: Head
Repeat steps 1 through 7 to make Santa’s head, but start with the white yarn to create the beard and hat.
Step 9: Eyes and Mouth
With black thread, sew on the eyes and make a few small stitches for Santa’s mouth.
