This is a knitted naughty Santa Claus, that is designed to cover a chocolate orange. Once the chocolate is all gone, Santa can be used as a decorative item.

The cover measures approx. 12cms.

The pattern includes instructions on how to make Father Christmas with a list of abbreviations. The pattern is written in English & can be printed onto 1 piece of paper (front & back).

All pieces are knitted flat on a pair of straight 3.25mm knitting needles (US 3). The pattern is worked using stocking stitch.

The pattern uses DK yarn (double knitting or light worsted weight); less than 25g in each colour. 2 small black beads are needed for his eyes & a small white pom pom for his hat.
