Modified a fun pattern just a bit. I did a bobble stitch for the nose, though you do have to think ahead a bit on that one. And added 2 more rounds even on the face. I did a few more rounds of increases on the skirt so it flared more and used flesh color yarn on the legs. I also used variegated grays yarn - I think it was called icecream yarn but not sure - for her hair. LOVE the hair. Super fun pattern, easy to personalize and Mr Claus is happy. :)
