Santa Claus

All components are knitted flat and sewn together at the end. The knitting skills needed are simply the basic knit and purl stitches; however, be attentive while assembling the pieces. The pattern is easy to follow.

DPNs are used for creating i-cord, and instructions for this are included in the pattern. There is also a technique for making i-cord without DPNs. A crochet hook is utilised for making chains and does not have to be exactly 2.5mm. No prior knowledge of crochet techniques is required for this project.
