1. 6 sc in KA
2. (1 sc, pr * 3 (9)
3. Knit 9 sc, fold, the last loop should be on the side, if not, then you need to knit the desired the number of sc for offset. (I have 2 columns.) Then we make a picot of 3 in.

Design
1. When knitting the body in the 11th row, we knitted 30 sbn for the back walls. Now we introduce the red color behind the front wall and knit two rows of 30 sbn each. Then we change to Softy Alize and knit two rows of 30 sbn each.
2. When knitting handles, in the 6th row we knitted 6 sbn for the back loops.
Now we enter Softy Alize behind the front wall and in each we make a pr from sbn (12), the second row is simply knitted 12 sbn.
3. Sew the pom-pom to the cap.
4. Sew the cap to the head. I fold the long part of the cap and sew it to the head.
5. We make a beard from Softy Alize, two stitches in each column (to make it thicker).
6. Draw the cheeks.
7. We embroider the eyebrows.
Your New Year’s friend is ready!

Knitting pattern for Santa Claus amigurumi;

Legend:
KA – amigurumi ring
p – row
p – loop
vp – air loop
pr – increase
kill – decrease
sbn – single crochet
ss – connecting column
(…) * – repeat everything written in brackets as many times as written after asterisks

Handles (2 parts)
White yarn:
1p: 4 sbn in KA
2p: 1 sbn, 1 pr, 2 sbn = 5p
3p: 5 sbn
Switch to red:
4p: 2 sbn, 1 pr, 2 sbn = 6p
5p: 3 sbn , 1 pr, 2 sbn = 7p
6-10r: (5 rows) of 7 sbn We
fill it a little, fold it in half and knit 4 sbn for two walls of the handle.

Beard
Knit Softy, hook 2.5 mm:
Dial 11 VP.
1p: in the second loop from the hook: 10 sc, we turn the work
2p: 1 cc, 3 cc, knitting all three of them at the end (knob), that is, we knit 3 double crochets, and only then we knit them together.
So tie 8 times, at the end we make a CC.
Cut the thread, leave the tip for sewing.

Head
We knit with beige yarn, hook 1.5 mm: We
collect 7 VP. We knit on both sides of the chain, forming an oval.
1p: in the second from the hook: 5 sc, in the last loop 3 sc, on the reverse side of the chain: 4 sc, in the first loop, from where 2 sc = 14p
2p: 1 pr, 4 sc, 3 pr, 4 sc, 2 pr = 20p
3p: 1 sbn, 1 pr, 4 sbn, 1 pr, 1 sbn, (1 sbn, 1 pr) * 2, 4 sbn, (1 pr, 1 sbn) * 2 = 26p
4-9r: (6 rows ) 26 sbn
10p each : (1 kill, 11 sbn) * 2 = 24p
11p: (2 sbn, 1 kill) * 6 = 18p
12p: (1 sbn, 1 kill) * 6 = 12p
Stuff, leave the tip for sewing to body.

The legs and body of Santa Claus are knitted in one piece. We start knitting from the legs.

Legs (2 parts)
We start knitting with brown yarn:
1p: 5 sbn in KA
2p: 1 sbn, 1 pr, 3 sbn = 6p
3p: 2 sbn, 1 pr, 3 sbn = 7p
Change the color to red in the last loop:
4p: 3 sbn, 1 pr, 3 sbn = 8p
5p: 4 sbn, 1 pr, 3 sbn = 9p
6p: 9 sbn
Cut the thread.

We knit the second leg in the same way, but we do not cut the thread, but continue to knit the body :
We dial 6 VP, knit 9 sbn along the first leg, 6 sbn along the chain, 9 sbn along the second leg, again 6 sbn along the chain = 30p
This is the first row of the body, we will knit 4 sc, so that the marker is on the side of our toy.
2p: 30 sbn
3p: 1 ave, 14 sbn, 1 ave, 14 sbn = 32p
We switch to brown yarn, knit 2 rows for it:
4-5r: 32 sbn
Red yarn:
6p: (if necessary, make an offset loop) 32 sbn
7 -8p: 32 sbn
9p: 1 kill, 14 sbn, 1 kill, 14 sbn = 30p 10p
: 1 kill, 13 sbn, 1 kill, 13 sbn = 28p
11p: 1 kill, 12 sbn, 1 kill, 12 sbn = 26p
12p: 1 kill, 11 sbn, 1 kill, 10 sbn – we knit the last loop together with the handle!
13p: further 3 sb we knit together with the handle!
We knit 6 sc on the body, again 4 sc together with the handle, 10 sc on the body!
We stuff the body and legs.
14p: (2 sbn, 1 kill) * 6 = 18p
15p: (1 sbn, 1 kill) * 6 = 12p Cut the
thread, fill.

Hat
We begin to knit Softy, hook 2.5 mm:
1p: 22 VP, connect in a ring and knit 22 sb
2p: go to red (change the hook) 22 sb
3-6r: (4 rows) 22 sb
7r: (1 ub , 9 sbn) * 2 = 20p
8-9r: (2 rows) 20 sb each
Further, similar noose in every third row, until there is a minimum of loops:
10p: (1 kill, 8 sbn) * 2 = 18p
11-12p: (2 rows) for 18sbn
13r: (1 kill, 7 sbn) * 2 = 16p
14-15r: (2 rows) 16 sbn
16r: (1 kill, 6 sbn) * 2 = 14p
17-18r: (2 rows ) 14 sbn 19p
each: (1 kill, 5 sbn) * 2 = 12p
20-21p: (2 rows) 12sbn 22p each
: (1 kill, 4 sbn) * 2 = 10p
23-24p: (2 rows) 10 each sbn
25r: (1 kill, 3 sbn) * 2 = 8p
26-27r: (2 rows) 8sc
28r: (1 dec, 2 sc) * 2 =
6p 29-30r: (2 rows) 6 sc Pull
, leave the tip of the thread, use it to pull the cap off a little: we are doing the needle with the thread inward and pull it out from the side in the middle, collect it a little, then pull it back to the crown and fasten it to collect it.

Pompom
White Vita Cotton Coco yarn:
1p: 6 sbn in KA = 6p
2p: 6p = 12p
3p: 12 sb
4p: 6 kill = 6p Pulls and sew
to the cap.

Assembly
Sew the cap to the head.
Sew the head to the body with a thread from the head.
Sew the beard to the head with a beard thread.
We embroider the nose with the thread with which the head was knitted: we make 3 stitches of 3 sbn size, over the beard, then we wrap them with thread, creating volume. We insert and withdraw the thread under the beard, then hide the ends.
We embroider the buckle as desired.
Your Santa is ready!
