What you need to know

Bring a timeless character to life with basic crochet stitches and a medley of Yuletide-hued yarn.

Naturally it wouldn’t be Christmas without this jolly chap, and Sarah-Jane Hicks has added a sweet mini tree to accompany him. Working mainly in simple double crochet stitches you’ll have him ready for the big day in no time. If you’re putting Santa on display, a top tip is to fill his legs with dried beans – then he’ll stand to attention well into new year!
