Hello, hello there, it's Anna here. Welcome to Little Crochet Farm
0:03
Today I will show you how to make this mini Santa Claus ornament for Christmas
0:08
I use 100% cotton yarn and 1.75 millimeters crochet hook, but that's because I lost my 2 millimeters
0:16
which I found out on my hair later on. Anyways, this one is the first one of a set that I prepare for
0:23
this Christmas. I really hope you like. These are the ones that it's coming after
0:27
So if you are interesting on making Amigurumi ornaments, well, stay tuned because they are about to come
0:34
So let's start with mini Santa Claus. All right, so we'll start here from the head, from the feet to the head
0:51
And with a magic ring, you make six single crochet on the magic ring
0:57
I'm using here for the shoes the black color yarn. Alright? So here for the first round I'm going to make six single crochet inside this magic ring
1:07
If you don't know how to make the magic ring or if you're struggling and making them
1:12
I have a complete tutorial showing you how I make mine and try
1:18
I think it's the best way to start Amigurumi. Okay, here I finish my six single crochet
1:26
I pull the yarn tight, I close this magic ring or magic circle
1:31
and we will start here for the second round. Here you will make six increases for the round two
1:39
That means that you will crochet two single crochet inside the stitch
1:43
All right? So inside every stitch, I'm struggling here with this yarn
1:50
Okay, okay. So inside every stitch of this round, you may make
1:55
you make two single crochet. Okay, at the end you should have 12 single crochet
2:05
All right, so two inside. That will move fast forward here. Okay, I pull this tight and I secure the beginning of my yarn
2:30
This is optional to you. I will show you how I make
2:34
I just insert in my needle the beginning tail of the yarn
2:39
And I hide this a little bit inside just to make sure that it's going to be very nice tight and closed
2:47
I do this in all of my Miamuums just to make sure. Alright, so let's move on for the third round
2:54
So here you will make 12 backpost single crochet. All right. So for the back post, you insert the needle from inside out
3:05
in between the posts of the stitches, okay? There is a complete video tutorial about how to make the back post single crochet
3:13
if you don't know how to make. And it's super easy to make
3:17
Here, just move fast so the tutorial don't stay super long. Alright, once you are at the end of the stitch, at the last stitch, I will make a color change here to the red
3:34
And for the round 4 and 5, you will make 12 single crochet
3:40
I have a tutorial also only dedicated in color changes in Amiguromi
3:45
I show you the four most common ways to do that. And you can choose which one is best for you
3:52
Alright, here I'm doing the simplest color change for the purpose of this tutorial
3:59
Okay, so this is how it should be looking like. All right, and you make another one
4:05
So one, you finish and you cut it off the tail, and the other one, you continue working with it
4:12
All right? So you take the one that you are finished, insert your needle inside any stitch of that leg
4:22
and pull the loop of the hook inside. Alright? And now you will make one single crochet inside each stitch
4:33
Okay, so you have 12 single crochet from one leg plus 12 single crochet from another leg
4:39
So at the end of this round you should have 24 stitches. Okay
4:46
So just count 12 here on the first leg. And then you see now here I'm jumping for another one
4:52
Don't forget that where you insert the loop of the needle is one stitch that you need to work on it
4:59
because you didn't make single crochet on that, you just connected the legs
5:03
So just make 12 single crochet on each of the legs And this is how it should be looking like From here on I start using a stitch marker in my case I just use a piece of yarn
5:14
For round number 7, you'll make one single crochet, one increase and you repeat 12 times
5:21
You should have 36 stitches here at the end. So one single crochet, one increase, one single crochet, one increase
5:30
Repeat all the way until the end. Alright, and here now I will make another color change
5:42
For the round number 8, you will make 36 single crochet. Okay
5:50
So here I will just crochet on the top of the tails of my yard, so it's already fastening off
6:01
You can check the color changes in the video that I told you about is in the description here
6:08
so you know how I make my color changes. Now I'm back on working with the red
6:14
And for round 9 and 10, you will make 36 single crochet. Okay
6:22
So all the way around, for the next two rounds, you work just 36 single crochet with the red
6:29
And then you will do another color. do another color change. Alright, so here I am at the last stitch of this round
6:38
and I'm making the color change to move on for round number 11
6:41
Here you will work in the back loop of the stitch, and in the back loop of the stitch, you will make a slip stitch
6:49
Alright, so here you make 36 back loop slip stitch. Great
7:00
And now for round 12, you will work on a back loop again, but this time you will make single crochet
7:08
So for round number 12, you will make 36 back loop single crochet
7:15
This is a regular single crochet but taking only the back loop of the stitch
7:21
One more color change here, so I'm back on working with the red color yarn
7:26
So you change on the last stitch of the round. And for round the number 13, you will again work with a slip stitch
7:34
So you'll make 36 back loop slip stitch. Whoops. Okay, I'm having a problem with this yarn. It's..
7:51
Or my hook, I'm not used to work with this hook. Okay, so here we have
7:59
Now you will work again with the back loop single crochet this time so for round number 14 you will make 36 back loop single crochet
8:09
So work only in the back loop of the stitch and you make a single crochet
8:20
Great look at this we have some very nice shape here. That's super cool
8:27
Okay, so now let's Let's move on and start our round number 15
8:32
Here we will start with the decreases. So you will work four single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times
8:39
and you should have 36 stitches at the end of this round
8:43
All right. So here, four crochet toys I work with the invisible decrease
8:51
If you don't know how to make the invisible decrease, check the links in the description of this video
8:56
But basically it's like this. you see, you grab only the front loop of the two next stitches
9:04
Front loop and you continue with your single crochet. All right, that's it. Repeat all the way until the
9:11
end. Good. I add a little bit of stuffing materials here in the legs
9:19
And now for round number 16, you will work three single crochet, one decrease
9:25
repeat six times and you should have a total of of 24 stitches at the end of this round
9:34
Alright, so here one more time I'll show you how to make
9:43
Front loop only of the stitch. And continue with a single crochet
9:54
Great, repeat all the way until the end. I'll catch you up. Now look at this, it's looking so cute already
10:04
Yes, this is super nice. All right, let's move on. Now for round number 17 you will work two single crochet one decrease repeat six times and you should have a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round
10:24
So here, my invisible decrease. Great. And now I will catch you up for in the last stitch
10:34
Okay, here we will work another color change. So I'm here doing my last decrease and I will change to
10:42
my new color here. So now for round number 18 you will work on the back loop slip stitch
10:50
So again we work with the back loop slip stitch. All right
10:58
Super simple, we've done this before a couple of times already in this pattern
11:06
Great, look at this, very nice, so tiny. Okay, I will stop
11:12
here we'll fast just to add a little bit of stuffing material. It's better if you go adding
11:18
stuffy material as you go. And now here we will do a little bit different. All right
11:25
here for round number 19 you will work in the front loop of the stitches only. You see
11:30
here this is the remaining front loop in red. Okay, so you can pause the video here
11:38
for you to see what is the the round. the pattern of this round. So basically you will make three single crochet, two increases
11:48
two single crochet, two increases, five single crochet and on and on. But important here is when
11:55
I say two increases, that means inside one stitch you will make three single crochet. Okay
12:04
one single crochet that you usually will do plus two increases. So here it's what I'm doing right now
12:10
So I'm on my second single crochet and third, three single crochet
12:17
Great. Now I will continue for two single crochets, so one here and another one on the next
12:26
And again, two increases. And remember, always in the front loop of the stitch, the remaining front loop, the one in red
12:36
All right? So two and three. Now I'll show you what we are searching for, which shape is it
12:43
You see here, we have a corner, and this is what we are searching
12:48
We'll have another one here and another corner here, so the beginning of the face will be a little bit squared
12:55
Alright, so at the end of round 19, you should have this shape
13:01
and let's move on for the next round. And here again, pause the video is a long pattern because there is no repetition
13:09
no repetition but for the round 20 I will make the start here until the first
13:15
corner so it's four single crochet here let me search where is my yeah so
13:22
four single crochet two increases four single crochet two increases seven single crochet two increases and on and on and then I will show you why we are
13:31
working like this because it's a rectangle that we are searching so the sides
13:37
will always have the same repetitions in between the increases and just the front and the
13:44
back will vary a little bit because we are starting from the middle of the head I hope this
13:49
makes sense all right this is my increases and now four single crochet here
14:07
And again, two increases, which means three single crochet inside the same stitch
14:16
And three. Alright, so again the corner, you see. So here I will make and you'll have the square shape
14:29
You see that not square, is a rectangle, is better, a rectangle
14:34
All right, and this pattern will continue with. This pattern will continue, we'll do just one more time
14:40
This is the last round with the increases. Alright, so it's not much of confusing anymore
14:48
So here again, you know already. So just move fast, stop the video here, finish this round
14:54
5 single crochet, 2 increases, 6 single crochet, 2 increases, and 9 single crochet, on and on
15:00
All right, so this is it. No more increases. This is the shape that we are searching for
15:08
It's looking very nice. And now for around 22 to 29, you will work 42 single crochet
15:16
So this is where we will start to shape up the head okay So here it super easy So just simple single crochet You make all the rounds and I will catch you up at the end of round 29 when we will start the decreases again All right So this is how you should be looking like at the end of round 29 Great I will add my stitch marker here and now we will start working with the decreases So here we will decrease 60
15:51
by round. So it's very simple and easy. So for round number 30, you will work 5 single crochet, 1 degrees
15:59
repeat six times and you should have a total of 36 stitches at the end of the round
16:04
Alright, so super simple here. The way that we like it. So here I will show you my first repetition and then I will catch you up at the end of the round, so we move on
16:19
Okay, my first decrease, very nice. So you repeat this all the way until the end and I will catch you up here
16:34
Okay? Great, this is looking nice. So for next round, for round number 31, you will work four single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times
16:45
and you should have a total of 30 stitches at the end of this round. at the end of this round. So again you make here the repetitions four single crochet
16:54
one degrees, four single crochet one degrees, four single crochet, one degrees
16:59
all the way until the end. And my decrease here
17:18
Alright, super good. Great, and let's move on for next round. Look at this, it's looking very nice
17:28
So for round number 32, you will work 3 single crochet, 1 decrease, repeat 6 times
17:34
and you should have a total of 24 stitches at the end of the round
17:39
So here again, we work with the repetitions all the way until the end
17:44
Three single crochet, 1 degrees. 3 single crochet, 1 degrees. shake one degrees always with invisible decrease okay here my visible
18:00
decrease great okay let's move on looking nice so let's add my stitch marker here
18:17
And now for round the number 33, you'll work. Two single crochet, one decrease, repeat six times
18:24
and you should have a total of 18 stitches at the end of this round
18:28
All right. Super easy, very nice. Great, all the way until the end
18:43
And look at this. Okay, now we'll stop here a little bit, just to just to
18:46
just to add stuffing material before we move on for our last and final round
18:52
Okay. Now here for the final round you will work one single crochet, one decrees
19:01
Tadda! And you should have 12 stitches at the end of this round and this is where we will stop
19:07
So we close the head of our little center. So my decrease here
19:20
Great. So I do this all the way until the end. And it's at the end like this, I don't want to stitch marker
19:31
Okay, that's looking great. So now we'll cut, look at this nice
19:37
We will cut this leaving a small tail so we can fasten this off
19:42
add into my sewing needle. Here how I fasten off is I grab, I pass the needle only in the front loop of the stitch
19:52
Alright, so I take 12 front loop of the stitches here. Just make sure that you're taking the full loop of the stitch, not in the middle of the string
20:09
Because now you pull it tight. That's why you need to make sure that you're taking the full loop of the stitch, not in the middle of the string
20:14
to make sure that you're taking only the front loop and not, you know, in the middle of the yarn or something like that
20:21
Because when you pull this through, it will slide and close easily and very neat
20:28
There is a complete video tutorial showing you how I fasten off
20:31
And that's it. Look at this. Super great
