Even though Christmas has passed, I couldn’t help but share this wonderful crochet Santa Claus pattern with you. Because it’s so cute. We’re going to make a sitting crochet Santa Claus figure. Not just for Christmas, I think it can take its place on any shelf all year round. You can put a coin inside while stuffing it so that it sits properly. This way, it will sit more properly. Here is this cute crochet Santa Claus amigurumi pattern with detailed steps below. You can start making it right now.
