Chunky Santa
Introducing my Chubby Father Christmas Crochet Pattern - Low Sew Amigurumi Santa.
Perfect as a plush stuffed toy for kids or a Christmas decoration, this DIY Santa project includes step-by-step crochet instructions and photos, making it easy to follow for intermediate or maybe even advanced beginner crocheters. This pattern is compatible with most yarn types: use lightweight cotton for a small decoration, or chunky plush yarn for a larger, cuddly finish!
Written in English using US crochet terms, with step-by-step instructions and lots of photos included. Download includes a printer friendly version, as well as a colourful interactive PDF pattern.

• No-sew body base starts at the bottom of the feet and works up to the top of the head as a single piece, crocheting in the arms
