Working the arms is very fast and very easy to work
0:03
So we will start here with the magic ring and this time you will work 5 single crochet
0:11
inside the magic ring. All right. So let's close this fast and move on for the next round. So for round number
0:40
two, you will work five increases and you should have 10 single crochet at the end of
0:46
this round. Okay, so you make two single crochet inside of each stitch of this round
1:00
Alright, let me just fast forward here a little bit and we'll secure the beginning of the
1:13
yarn as I told you in the beginning of this video, this pattern
1:18
I always do that for secure. great, I add my stitch marker here and let's move on. So for the third
1:31
round you work 10 single crochet and that's it. I will catch you up at the
1:37
last stitch of this round because we will do a color change. Again, there is a
1:44
video tutorial showing you the four most popular ways of doing color changes
1:52
Okay, so here I am, I will change to the white color yarn and I will work 10 single crochet
2:03
for the fourth round, all right
2:14
Here I'm doing the easiest color change. It's a very small detail and I'm working with a needle that I'm not used to it
2:28
Great, this is super good. Now I'm again on the last stitch and I will change to
2:35
red. And here we don't change colors anymore so for round 5 to 10 you will
2:40
work only 10 single crochet, all right? No color changes anymore. So here I will
2:51
crochet my stitches on top of this other ending of tails so I can just cut right
2:59
after and it's fastened and secure already. So let me organize this because
3:07
is where we're gonna work the single crochet here. Over these tails, these
3:14
left over, that we will cut later. Alright, that's it. I will catch you up at the
3:19
end of round number 10. This is how it should be looking like. And you make
3:24
another one. Alright, leave a tail for sewing it later. Okay, now let's start the
3:32
hat. So here we will work six single crochet inside the magic ring. Alright
3:39
here I will move a little bit faster because you know how to make this already
3:43
We've been making magic rings and six single crochets inside at the beginning
3:49
of this pattern. Super good! And now we'll start making the hat, okay? So for the second
4:05
round we will work six single crochet. Here I will show you how I make everything of this
4:14
round because it can be very little for some of you. I want to show you how I
4:18
hold and it's just six single crochet super fast so bear with me here, alright
4:28
Okay, so we have the tip of the head
4:44
Right, so let's move on for round number three. So here you will make six increases and you will have a total of 12 stitches
4:58
So here again you know what is it
5:12
I'm having problem with this needle a little bit. Okay, I will move here fast forward because you know how to make this already
5:21
two single crochet inside of each stitch of this round and great! This is how it
5:29
should be looking like and now once again you will work one round only with single crochet okay So one the round number four here you will work 12 single crochet and that it Very simple
5:50
I don't know if you can hear, my neighbors are wild today. Okay, so for round number five you will work one single crochet, one increase, you will repeat
6:01
six times and you should have a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round
6:09
I'll add my stitch marker, great, and let's go one single crochet and one increase
6:22
One single crochet and one increase. Repeat all the way until the end
6:31
Alright, so we can see the tip of the hat. So for round number six, you will work 18 single crochet
6:40
So here I think you got already what is the pattern, right? We make one round with increases
6:45
one round only with single crochet, one round with increases, one round with only single crochet
6:52
We will be working this for a little while. I will show you now here, okay? So we
7:00
have this tip. So now for round number seven you will work two single crochet
7:05
one increase, repeat six times and you should have a total of 24 stitches at the
7:10
end of this round, okay? After that you will work the round number eight, which
7:16
will make only 24 single crochet, okay? So here I'll make now my round number 7 with
7:24
the increases and then I will make my round number 8 with 24 single crochet and
7:31
I will catch you up at the end of round 8, so we move for round 9, alright? So we
7:39
work a little bit faster with this pattern, okay? Great! So this is how we
7:46
should be looking like by the end of round number 8. Okay, so one increase, one round only with single
7:51
crochet. So for round 9, you will work 3 single crochet, 1 increase, repeat 6 times and you should
7:58
have a total of 30 stitches at the end of round 9. And then you will go for round number 10
8:05
while you work only 30 single crochets. Okay, so I'll go, I start here for my round number 9 and
8:13
make the increases, then you'll go for round number 10 and I will make just the single crochets
8:20
and then I will catch you up here for the instructions for round number 11
8:24
all right? great I'll catch you up then. good! so this is how it should be looking like by the end of round number 10
8:33
so for round number 11 you will work four single crochet, one increase, repeat six times
8:38
and you should have a total of 36 single crochet and then you move on for round
8:44
number 12 where you're gonna work 36 single crochet. Alright, so I'll catch you up again at the end of the round number 12 so do your
9:01
increases and then you do the next round without increases and I will catch you up
9:05
here. Alright, so this is how it should be looking like. Now let's move on for round
9:11
number 13. You will work 5 single crochet, 1 increase, repeat 6 times and you should
9:17
have 42 stitches at the end of this round. And then you follow up by round number 14
9:23
and 16. So this time you will work 2 rounds only with 42 single crochet. Okay? So this
9:32
a little bit different because we will work two rounds more not one round as
9:37
before it rhymes okay so I will do my increases here for round number 13 and
9:45
then I will do my 14 and 15 14 to 16 so it will be three rounds in total okay two
9:54
rounds extra. All right, so we have this shape now, it's looking very nice. So here
10:04
I am in my last stitch and we will work a color change here. We will put the
10:10
we will change for the white collar yarn. Okay, and now we will work with half double crochet here
10:26
So, all the way around 42 half double crochet. So, here, I don't know if you know how to make the
10:34
half double crochet it's a very simple pattern yarn over the needle inside the
10:41
stitch pull it through yarn over the needle pull it through the loops of your
10:47
needle maybe I went too fast yarn over through all the loops okay so here I am
10:59
at my last round. I will connect, I will join with a slip stitch, I will cut this
11:10
yarn and we move on here and start working with a little little detail on top of this hat so again
11:24
we work with the six single crochet inside the magic ring which by now you know how to make
11:30
very well because you've done it a lot of it great super good and for round
11:42
number two you will work six increases and you should have 12 single crochet at
11:47
the end of this round so again here you know how to make I will move it a little
11:53
little bit fast. Very small detail. Okay, let me move fast here. Secure the yarn. Okay
12:17
Right, now for, I will work only 12 single crochet. So for round 3 to 6, you work only single crochet
12:28
So here you'll make 4 rounds only 12 single crochet. Okay? So I'll catch you up at the end of the round
12:39
Great, this is how it should be looking like. Now you cut the yarn here
12:43
It's very simple, super easy. the yarn here, add a little bit of stuffing material inside and we'll start
12:57
here closing this like we close the head of the sandclothes, okay? So, pass the
13:04
yarn on the front loop of all the stitches All right, and now we will close this
13:25
So, pull it tight to close this detail. That's super nice, very great
13:36
Just make sure there is no stuffing material coming out. Super good
13:43
Look at this. Very nice. Okay, let's secure this yarn and now with this remaining tail here we will sew
13:53
this on the tip of the head. So here let me find the best position here
14:09
All right. Yeah. And now you just sew it here around
14:24
Just make sure that it's nice tight so it won't be loose. Okay
14:38
This is looking very nice. Great. Now I add this eyes to fake the eyes because I like to embroider the eyes
14:51
If you want to know the exact position where I add the eyes, click in the description below
14:57
to the written pattern. In the written pattern there is all the information you may need, everything from the materials
15:04
I used to the positions of everything that I sew here. I just want to show you how I embroider my eyes, not my eyes, but the eyes of my toys
15:14
because I like to embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes
15:18
But this is a personal choice. I just make a lot of straight lines, as you see here, with a black thread
15:27
But if you're using with safety eyes, there is the exact position on which roll
15:34
and how many stitches between them I used. Or you can go with your filling and where it looks symmetrical to you
15:44
Alright, this is looking very nice to me
16:05
Now I will embroider the other one. Okay, and I will come back here so we continue. Great
16:13
Here I just add the hat so I can have like a better
16:18
looking like a symmetrical way. So here I'm gonna start working the beard. So around here
16:25
I think I'll catch I will add my yarn Again, here I go with what it looks symmetrical to me
16:32
Okay, the exact position where I'm doing this is in the written pattern in the description below which exact round
16:38
I'm working on this. So here I will add just in a very simple way my yarn
16:47
Here I will put a pin so this yarn don move around and later I will stuff this and fasten this inside the head So for the beard I make one two chains and I connect with the slip stitch on the round
17:08
underneath where I start. Alright? And I connect with the slip stitch
17:15
be a little bit awkward at the beginning but once you start making it it goes very fast
17:20
and it's so easy to erase if you make some mistakes. So one, two chains and connect with
17:31
a slip stitch on the round under where you just worked. When you're working down a way
17:42
When you're working down the beard, you take round by round. When you're working sideways, you take stitch by stitch
17:51
You will see it here. I will show you that also. So again, one, two chains and join with a slip stitch
17:59
This is how I'm making the beard for this Santa Claus. Alright
18:04
Always like this. Two chains and join with a slip stitch. Maybe on the chin I will make a little bit more fluffy, so I will work instead of two
18:14
chains, I will work three chains. Great. Okay, so I work down here
18:37
I'll just remember to stop to show you here when you're working sideways as I told you before
18:42
You work taking stitch by stitch All right, so I take this stitch and I join with a slip stitch
18:56
Okay, so again One two and join with a slip stitch
19:07
All right, so I will move all the way up and then down again
19:17
Okay, so let's stop here. So I'm up now, you see? And now I'll move down here and go back up until here
19:28
All right, I will catch you up then. Great, that's it. Look at this
19:33
Now I will fasten this yarn off. Okay, this is looking very nice
19:48
I like it very much. And now let's attach the arms. So here I use pins to fasten the arms in the position that I think it looks nice to me
20:00
Again, all the positions is in the written pattern in the description below
20:08
Here I just want to show you how you sew this. So you take one stitch from the body
20:16
and the two stitches from the arms, which is folded, right? So you have 10 stitches here
20:21
you fold in half, you have five fives. So you will sew five stitches from the arm with five
20:28
stitches from the body. And everything is red and it's really easy and nice
20:36
pattern to sew it. So here I just want to show you very fast
20:48
And that's it! Now the hat, it's optional to you to sew, but I like to sew the
20:56
hat on the head because I want to hang on my tree. So it's important to be sewed
21:01
Okay. I grab a piece of golden thread or some dark yellow or something like this
21:09
so I can make the nice detail on his belt. Okay. So here I just find the central
21:18
part of his belt and I will just embroider a simple square to make his belt, golden belt
21:33
Okay, super nice
21:57
So cute! Look at this! It's ready! If you want to hang on your tree, just add a little bit on top of it, of piece of yarn
22:06
so it's hanged. And that's it, I hope you enjoyed this pattern and I see you on the next one. Bye
