Unleash your creativity this holiday season to create your own easy beginner friendly Santa ornament! With a detailed step-by-step guide, you’ll dive into the joyful world of crochet and create something truly unique.
Christmas is coming so quickly, and I am not even ready one bit. I don’t really have any gifts started. We haven’t even set up our Christmas tree, which is something we usually have done by now. We go every year to chop our own tree down. The kids absolutely love this tradition. It’s become a cherished family tradition that we all look forward to. The excitement in their eyes as they spot the perfect tree is truly magical. I can’t wait to see their reactions when we finally decorate it together.
This Santa Ornament is super easy and beginner-friendly. It will look great on your tree. It brings a festive charm to your decorations. This delightful Santa ornament serves as a lovely addition to your holiday display. It can also double as a thoughtful gift card holder if you leave the top un-sewed. This makes it practical for the holiday season. Alternatively, it adds a little touch of whimsy to a gift tag, ensuring your presents stand out under the tree.

Attach your cheeks, ensuring 2 sts are left from the inner white part of the face of rows 5-6.
Now attach your nose right above the white part of the face to row 6-7.
Add eyes to row 8. Space them 4 to 5 stitches apart. Create an arch by stitching over the yarn between the eyes on row 9. Repeat on the other side.
Align the from and the back together. We are now going to single crochet together starting on the left side in white. We are only Single crocheting the white parts together.
Now start to lightly stuff from the top.
Finish Single Crochet together in Blush pink 2 on the sides. You will have the back loops where the hat was, so single crochet in those back loops. Then crochet through both on the back panel. You will only have 6 back loops and finish the rest off normally. In the last slst to the top of the white, add some string to the 3rd stitch over. Tie it in a knot to finish off your ornament.
