A cheerful flat Santa Claus with rosy cheeks, a red nose, a big white beard, a red hat and jacket and black boots, worked in rows of cotton yarn with simple colour changes and embroidered details. A hanging loop on the hat makes it easy to hang up.
Use it as Christmas table or wall decor, a potholder, coaster, mug rug or appliqué – or make two, sew them together and stuff for a small pillow. A pattern by Svetlana Zabelina with step-by-step instructions, a chart and photos.
