Mini Pompom

The last step to finish the hat is to make a mini pompom on the top of the hat. It is easy to make, what you need are a fork and a pair of scissors.  I followed the link Here which is by Red Ted Art to make my mini pompom.

After you have made your mini pompom, just use the same color of yarn and assembly it on the tip of the hat.

-Attach the hat to the head

Beard

Step 1: ch 16

Step 2: Start at the second ch and work 3 chs as a group

Step 3: sc in first ch, hdc & dc in second ch, sl st in third ch

Step 4: Repeat Step 3 till the end

Step 5: Cast off, leave a long tail and sew the beard under the nose shown as the picture

Eyes

Work between round 12 & 13, 1 or 2 sts away from the nose

Step 1: Cut out a 20cm dark brown yarn and because the yarn is a bit thick,  I divided it into 2 thinner yarns

Step 2: Use 1 thinner yarn, goes through the loop on the tapestry needle, leave one side shorter than the other side

Step 3:

Join the short tail together, make a tight knot, cast off the tails

Now, you can attach a string close to the top of the hat and hang it up on your Christmas tree!!

Just make as many as you like and decorate all on your tree. I hope during crocheting this Santa Clause, it does bring you a lot of joys! Looking forwards to seeing your own made Xmas Santa Clause Ornament!
