The real boss of the North Pole.

Mrs. Claus stands about 10 inches tall in her Wine dress, with a Wheat Stitch™ bonnet, a scalloped White collar, a half circle apron that ties at the back, little jute twine bows, and an optional pair of dainty spectacles. Set her on a mantel, a cake stand, or a holiday tray, and she’s even sweeter next to Santa.

She’s worked in one piece from the top of her head down, switching from Sandstone to Wine as the body grows. Her Slate bun comes next, and the bonnet is crocheted right off the bun and finished with a scalloped White edge.

✨ What makes it work
One piece body. Start at the top of the head and work down, stuffing as you go.
A bonnet that stays put. It’s worked straight off her bun, then tacked in place.
Scallops all around. The bonnet edge, the collar, and the apron all finish with simple scallops.
A collar that fits. The pattern shows you how to adjust the chain so the scallops lie flat.
You’re not on your own. Video tutorial and written pattern included, plus ideas to dress her up, display her, and store her.
