About this pattern
Nicholas is a brown teddy bear dressed as Santa: a red suit and hat with a white pompom, a black belt and black boots. He is one of the bigger toys (10 parts, 141 rounds, about 7.5 in / 19 cm tall), a keepsake gift to make for Christmas.
Finished at about 7.5 in (19 cm) tall, it is quick enough to make more than one before the holidays: stocking stuffers, tree buddies or handmade gifts.

Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Nicholas?
You need 5 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 45 g (80 yd / 75 m) of red for the body, hat and arms, about 25 g (40 yd / 35 m) of brown for the head and ears, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of cream for the muzzle, about 15 g (20 yd / 20 m) of black for the nose, belt and legs and about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of white for the pompom. You also need about 40 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (10 mm).
How tall is Nicholas, and how many parts are there?
About 7.5 in (19 cm) tall. You crochet 10 parts (body, head, muzzle, nose, 2 ears, hat, pompom, belt, 2 arms and 2 legs), 141 rounds in all, then follow 11 assembly steps to put Nicholas together.
Is Nicholas a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Nicholas uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 10 parts and 141 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.
