The Eggy Santa Christmas crochet pattern is an adorably chubby amigurumi, perfect for adding to your festive décor. This pattern provides detailed instructions and high-quality photos to guide you through creating your very own little Father Christmas with a sack full of presents.

The pattern starts from the top of the head and works down, incorporating the arms and feet as you crochet. The hat and hair are then crocheted as one piece. There is some sewing required for attaching the eyes, moustache and hat and a little simple embroidery for the eyebrows and buckle. I've provided options for either safety eyes or crocheted eyes. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, Eggy Santa reaches a height of approximately 12cm (with hat folded down). I'd love to see your completed projects; feel free to share them by tagging me on Instagram @dreamweave.creations or visiting my Facebook page, DreamWeave Creations.

Intermediate - I have assigned an intermediate skill level to this pattern. While the majority of it involves simple stitches, it also includes bobble stitch and surface slip stitch and requires some assembly when sewing components together. Additionally, the hair is made using loop stitch and some of the smaller components can be a bit fiddly. All stitches are fully explained within the pattern.

Feel free to explore variations by swapping out yarn and hook sizes to achieve a different outcome, and get creative with experimenting with various colours.
