Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Claus?
You need 5 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 45 g (75 yd / 70 m) of red for the body, hat and arms, about 20 g (40 yd / 35 m) of beige for the head, about 20 g (30 yd / 30 m) of white for the beard, hat brim, pompom and cuffs, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of peach for the nose and about 15 g (25 yd / 20 m) of black for the belt and boots. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (10 mm).
How tall is Claus, and how many parts are there?
About 7.25 in (18 cm) tall. You crochet 11 parts (body, head, beard, nose, hat, hat brim, pompom, belt, 2 arms, 2 cuffs and 2 boots), 104 rounds in all, then follow 13 assembly steps to put Claus together.
Is Claus a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Claus uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 11 parts and 104 rounds it takes longer than our easiest toys. For a very first toy, a shorter one from our easy amigurumi patterns for beginners is quicker.
Is there a matching blanket?
Yes: the Santa Face C2C Blanket Crochet Pattern, a 50 × 59 chart that makes a 38 × 44 in blanket in worsted yarn. Add one more pattern to your basket and you save 35% on all of them.
Which languages are included?
You get four PDFs: English, French, German and Spanish. The English version uses US crochet terms, and the stitch page lists the UK names too.
How do I get the pattern?
Right after checkout you get an email with your download links. You can download your PDFs again from that email any time.
