Crochet Santa Pattern, Wheat Stitch™ Santa Claus Amigurumi, Faux Fur Beard, Christmas Decor, Tiered Tray Santa, PDF + Video + App

Wheat Stitch Crochet Santa Claus, a jolly little Santa with a fluffy faux fur beard who's ready for your mantel, tiered tray, or cake stand.

NEW: This pattern comes with an added interactive version in the Briana K Stitch app.

You still get the printable PDF you know and love. Inside the app you also get to check off every round as you work it, so your place is saved when life interrupts.

Most crochet Santas are smooth single crochet. This one is worked in the Wheat Stitch, so he has real, cozy texture the second you pick him up. His body is crocheted in one piece from the top of his head down, switching from his face color to his red suit as you go. A black Wheat Stitch belt with a twine buckle, a faux fur beard, and a stocking hat with a ribbed band and fluffy pompom finish him off. Add a little pair of doll glasses and he's ready for Christmas.

📊 Construction:
You'll start at the top of Santa's head and crochet the body all in one piece, switching from Sandstone to Wine as the body grows. A black Wheat Stitch belt goes on partway down, then you'll stop to stitch a twine buckle and tie on his faux fur beard. Finish the body, crochet his stocking hat from the ribbed band up, and top it with a faux fur pompom.

🎅 Make him a pair! Mrs. Claus is available as her own pattern, and the two come together in a Santa and Mrs. Claus bundle in my shop.

❓ Questions Makers Ask:
Is this a finished Santa?
No, it's the pattern. A PDF crochet pattern, a video tutorial and app access. Nothing physical ships.

Can I sell what I make?
Yes, you're welcome to sell your finished Santas, and a credit back to Briana K Designs is always appreciated.

Do I have to use the app?
Nope. The PDF stands on its own. The app's there for when you'd rather tap rounds on your phone than lose your place on paper.
