This is the 14th in a series of 24 linked patterns, published daily in December 2015, to decorate a knitted Christmas tree. The pattern for the tree is published separately.

This little Santa is only 4.5 cm / 1¾“ tall and is easier to knit than you might think. The front and back are knitted the same with just the beard, eyes and bobble added afterwards.

All my ravelry patterns are free to download but, if you enjoy them, please consider making a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation, a charity which funds research and supports the families of children with a liver disease. You can do this easily by going to my fundraising page www.justgiving.com/frankiesknittedstuff

Happy Knitting!
