This hanging Santa decoration is knit top-down in the round using double pointed needles and small quantities of Hayfield Bonus DK.

Santa’s head and body are knit in one piece using a tight gauge on 3.25mm needles so the stuffing doesn’t show through. A very small amount of tinsel/eyelash yarn is needed for the beard.

The pattern can also be used (without the beard and with different colours) to create little elves!
