This is one of a pack of two patterns by Diana, from a Christmas series of 8 patterns. This PDF has Mother and Father Christmas, and a tutorial for the techniques used. Written in UK terms.
Designed for beginners to have a go at the amigurumi style, and with tutorials included for all the techniques, Father and Mother Christmas are created by making the limbs first and adding them as you go along. Mother Christmas’ skirt is also made within the pattern, working in back loops, so that when you complete her head, she is finished!
Care is needed when working with Eyelash yarn as it can be a bit tricky to see the stitches!

Materials needed
DK yarn - Red, Black and Pink
White Eyelash yarn
3.5mm hook,
9mm safety eyes
Toy stuffing
