Super detailed crochet patterns with emotional amigurumi design
This PDF crochet pattern consists of:
⭐️28 pages of detailed step-by-step instructions how to crochet this toy;
⭐️134 close-up photos with all the important angles;
⭐️5 helper videos for the key steps (hat, mustache, beard, arms, assembly);
⭐️7 short tip videos with extra technique advice;
⭐️a handy table of contents with easy navigation between sections;
⭐️useful crochet tips for neat shaping and clean details.
Tiny Santa is compact, charismatic and “alive”:
his hat is removable (you can change the angle or swap it), his mustache sticks out playfully, and the toy can sit on its own — a perfect little guest under the Christmas tree or a small handmade gift.
The crochet pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms.
🎓 Skill level:
Elementary / confident beginner.
The pattern does not contain full “learn to crochet” lessons, but the steps are very detailed and the video tips help you shape the mustache, beard and other small details.
You should already know how to work: magic ring, single crochet, increases and decreases, basic color changes and sewing parts together.
📏Approximate toy size:
• Standing: about 11 cm / 4.3"
• Sitting: about 8 cm / 3.1"
The actual size will vary depending on your yarn, hook size, stuffing and personal tension.

Turned out most excellent! I’ve only been crocheting about two months. So this one did challenge me with learning some new techniques, but he turned out just fantastic!

I started to design and create own things in 2012 from the fact that I decided to make accessories for my own wedding, and I grew up in mastering various hand-made techniques and directions: kanzashi, polymer clay, sewing, etc.
In 2016 I began making toys for my children (a boy – Misha, and a girl - Alyona) and that is what I love most of all! My family (especially husband) inspires and help me to create toys! It often happens that my husband communicates on my behalf with clients and subscribers if I do not have time ;)
My workshop is my apartment, It's filled with boxes of yarn, hooks, crochet needles, stitch markers, pins, stuffing and other tools and lots of toys of course!
The process of creating toy designs and crochet patterns takes every day from morning till night 365 days a year.
So, if you love crocheting toys as much as I do, I invite you to visit my shop where you can find very detailed crochet patterns of sweet amigurumi toys.☺️
