Christmas is my favorite time of the year and this is probably the cutest Santa amigurumi that I have ever crocheted. I loved my Santa Baby amigurumi crochet pattern so much on its own I decided to publish him on his own first without the beard and then add it on later.
I actually had some issues when it came to designing his beard. Apparently, a beard without a mustache is an Amish beard. It turned out I just needed to add a mustache to make him look more like... Santa.
Who'd thought that beards and mustaches were so technical?
This free crochet pattern in this blog post below is just for the mustache and beard. If you are looking for the amigurumi Santa Claus doll crochet pattern, it's also available for free as the Santa Baby amigurumi doll.
So let's get crackin' and finish making your amigurumi Santa Claus before Christmas is over! I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
