10 Free Crochet Santa Patterns
Amigurumi Santa Claus and Reindeer Patterns by Katharine Suchard: What a sweet pair! I love that little mustache, and their matching outfits.This pattern is no longer available, but I found a fantastic Santa to replace it, hope you like it!
Amigurumi Santa Claus Ornament by Tamara Lazaridou, on Toma Creations blog: Love the look of these!
- Teeny Tiny Santa on Crafty Queens: So tiny and cute! I love the idea of adding little bells to the bottom. Great as ornaments and package toppers!
- Santa's Aprons on Yarnspirations: Put on some carols, tie on these aprons, and make memories - and all the cookies!
- Santa's Cookies on Beansprout Creations, via the Internet Archive: Speaking of cookies... how fun are these!? Set them on the hearth or mantle for that night-before-Christmas feeling all season long!
- Infant Santa Suit and Hat by Kim Guzman for Red Heart: What a great costume for all the photo opportunities! Babies make such great little Santas!
- Playful Santa Hat on Crochet and Other Stuff: There are lots of Santa hat patterns out there, but I like this one because it comes in child and adult sizes, has a great shape, and isn't all done with single crochet!
- Santa Belly Coffee Cozy by Crazy Curls Crocheting: UPDATE: This pattern is no longer free, but costs US $0.75 - if you need a free one, check out the Santa To-Go Cup Cozy from The Left Side of Crochet. 'Tis the season of peppermint mocha lattes, eggnog espresso, a steaming hot chocolate. Pair this with a gift card for a great teacher gift! Or make one for yourself to keep your spirits up while you play Santa!
- Santa Pillow on Yarnspirations: This retro pillow is a great touch on any couch or sofa!
- Santa (Chocolate Cover) Decoration by Kippers Ning: Too cute, and filled with a Ferrero Roche or other wrapped truffle, it's yummy too!
- Santa Gift Tag on LoveCrafts: These are a great way to dress up a package of set the gifts from Santa apart from the rest. And at 3" wide I'm thinking you could probably squeeze a gift card in there too!
