There’s nothing cuter for Christmas than a mini crocheted Santa Claus with a fluffy beard! Why not make all the holiday-themed tater tot patterns and put them on your table or as little favours to give to the kids (or big kids)? We absolutely love his moustache and fuzzy eyebrows.

This crochet amigurumi pattern is perfect for beginners and neurodivergent crafters. The abbreviated instructions are followed by a breakdown in italics making it easier to understand what you need to do in each round. If you’ve had trouble reading patterns in the past, we hope that you’ll give our tater tot patterns a try!

One of the best things about these patterns is that they only use a tiny amount of yarn, so get out your scraps. Just remember that the hook size will depend on your yarn thickness and tension. So, experiment with what works best for you.

Using DK yarn and a 3mm hook, our Santa Clause is approximately 9cm tall. The size will vary depending on yarn used and tension.
