Every person decorates a Christmas tree at home for the New Year, real or artificial, depending on their own preferences. But the generally accepted tradition is the arrangement of the Snow Maiden and Father Frost under the New Year's beauty. These figures can be bought in a store or made yourself from threads at home.
In order to get a soft and bright toy, you need to know how to crochet. The diagram and description of Santa Claus crochet will be simple and understandable even for a beginner. A cute knitted Santa Claus and Snow Maiden can be a creative gift for family or friends. When knitting a product, you should use yarn called Grass. Thanks to it, you can create an unusual fur coat and beard for a winter character.
Preparation of materials and process of creating a figure
Before you start work, you need to prepare:
- Red wool blend yarn - 50 grams.
- Cream-colored wool blend yarn - 15 grams.
- White yarn - 1 gram.
- Yarn “Grass” for beard - 10 grams.
- Pieces of foam rubber.
- Black beads for eyes.
- Glue gun.
- Scissors.
Knitting body figures
The first stage of work is knitting the Grandfather’s torso. For this purpose, red yarn and Grass yarn will be used. We crochet a chain of three loops and connect it so that we get a small ring.
The body of the figurine is almost ready. Now it needs to be filled with pieces of foam rubber. After filling the body, you need to knit from the inside. The next 2 rows are simply knitted in the round, after which the stitches are shortened. Two rows must be decreased every 2 stitches. In the next row, the reduction occurs through each loop, then in each loop. The thread is cut and the body is completely finished.
You can tie a white thread around the bottom and top of the body in a circle so that you get an impromptu edge on Grandfather’s fur coat.
Knitting a head from yarn
Knitting the figurine's head is made from cream-colored yarn. To get started, 3 loops are connected into a ring. Next 2 rows an increase is knitted in each stitch. On the third row, the increase is performed through 1 loop. The fourth row is performed in a circle without any increase. The fifth row is performed exactly the same as the third.
From sixth to ninth- knitting is done in a circle. There is no need to add anything at these stages. On the tenth line the reduction is performed every 3 stitches. We knit the eleventh line without any additives. The next row is similar to the tenth row in its design. The difference is the number of cuts. They occur every 2 holes. After which knitting is performed without adding or subtracting - 1 row. The last line is shortened in each loop and the remaining thread is cut.
Making a cap for Grandfather
At the initial stage, the hat is made of red threads. The work begins with a ring of three loops. In the first two lines, you need to make an addition in each line. The next row allows adding through one sling. Then knitting occurs without any additives. In the fifth line, the addition occurs through each line. The next row is simply knitted in the round. The last two rows are made with yarn The grass is white for beauty, and the thread is cut.
Making the hands of Santa Claus
The hands are knitted from red threads. Getting started is also done from those loops that are connected to each other:
- First line. Increase in every hole.
- Second line. There is no increase.
- Third line. A chain of five holes is knitted. Then it is folded in half and knitted in the round. It turns out to be a finger.
- Fourth line. It does not involve additions.
- Fifth line. Knitted with Grass yarn.
Then we knit in a circle with red threads. After this, the hand is filled with foam rubber. In the next few lines the reduction is performed. The second arm of the figure is knitted similarly to the first.
Then you can attach the head to the body using a glue gun. Grandfather’s face must be decorated with the beard familiar to all children. For this, the needlewoman will need white yarn. For a beard, it is enough to knit two rows on the figure’s face. The arms are glued to the body of the figure.
Making a bag and strap
The bag itself is made of red yarn, and the strap is made of white.
For this, a chain of five holes are tied in an oval. Then an addition is made to each loop. Then nine lines are knitted without increasing. The product is filled with foam rubber.
For the strap, you need to cast on loops in the amount of 70 pieces from white threads. The resulting bag can be tied with a bow and attached to the hand of Santa Claus. And decorate the face using black beads and a red nose from a piece of yarn.
So, your cute DIY craft is ready. It will become an indispensable and creative decoration for the New Year's green spruce.

Some interesting information:
Grandfather Frost, whom we have known since childhood, was born in 1935, and we owe his appearance to a special decree of Peter the First Russian Tsar. Santa Claus was originally an evil and cruel pagan deity, the Great Old Man of the North, the lord of icy cold and blizzards, who froze people and he was of a rather evil disposition. In ancient times, with the onset of winter, it was customary to appease it with various offerings, so that it would not be harsh with the cold, protect the harvest and living creatures, they would also frighten naughty children. At the touch of his staff, water turned to ice, trees froze, and his breath was cold. But that was before. And now a kind and cheerful grandfather comes to us every year and gives everyone gifts.
On New Year's Eve, our children are looking forward to Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. Who are children in other countries waiting for? But listen to this:
In Australia, USA - Santa Claus. The American grandfather wears a cap and a red jacket, smokes a pipe, travels through the air on reindeer and enters the house through a pipe. Australian Santa Claus is the same, only in swimming trunks and on a scooter (you know, it’s hot on the first of January in the country of kangaroos).
In Belgium and Poland - St. Nicholas. As the legend goes, he left golden apples in a shoe in front of the fireplace for the family who sheltered him. This was a very long time ago, so St. Nicholas is considered the very first Santa Claus. He is always accompanied by his Moorish servant Black Peter, who carries a bag of gifts for obedient children behind his back, and in his hands - rods for naughty children.
In Kazakhstan, Ayaz-ata comes to the children, in Kalmykia, Zul, in Cambodia, Ded Zhar.
All New Year's Grandfathers bring gifts, but everyone does it in their own way:
Russian Santa Claus puts a gift under the Christmas tree.
The English and Irish find gifts in a sock, and Mexicans find gifts in a shoe.
New Year's gifts are dumped down the chimney in France, and onto the balcony in Spain.
In Sweden, Santa Claus puts gifts near the stove, and in Germany he leaves them on the windowsill.
Santa Clauses - they are all so different. They look different, one is kind, and the other can scold. Everyone has their own personal way of getting into a holiday home. But no matter what Santa Claus you are, you are there to congratulate and give a gift!
Materials required for work:
An empty bottle of baby juice, 2 balls of wool: red and pink, 1 ball of white yarn, which consists of individual threads, hook No. 1.5-2, several napkins, a straw for cocktails, a pair of artificial eyes for toys, any glue , scissors and thread with a needle.
Step-by-step description of the work:
The toy is knitted according to the size of the bottle. We collect 5 air loops from red yarn and close them with a single crochet into a ring (imigurami ring).
From the ring we knit 10 single crochets and then we knit in a circle, every 2 loops we knit 2 loops in one column, that is, we add loops so that the work does not fold. You need to knit a circle equal to the diameter of the bottle.
Now we knit 3 rows without adding loops.
We knit the edge along the bottom of the fur coat with white threads:
1st row: single crochet.
Row 2: knit in elongated stitches. We knit the elongated columns like this: we hook the working thread with the thumb of our left hand.
We move the finger with the thread forward and slightly to the right towards the hook.
Now we knit a regular single crochet
and pull out your finger, you get a loop.
So we knit the entire second row.
3rd row: single crochets,
4th row: elongated columns,
Row 5: single crochets.
You should end up with 3 rows of single crochet stitches and 2 rows of drawn stitches using white yarn.
Next, we knit a fur coat for Santa Claus in a circle with red yarn, and continue to knit 5 loops with white, also alternating rows. This will be the edge on the fur coat. So we knit up to the neck of the bottle.
Then we remove the red yarn and knit with white:
1st row: single crochets
Row 2: elongated loops. Only now you don’t have to knit elongated loops where Santa Claus will have a beard.
Row 3: single crochets.
The fur coat is ready. We take the pink yarn and knit it to the end of the bottle, decreasing the loops in each row. The result is something like this.
We knit the hat with red thread in the same way as the bottom of the fur coat, but add loops through 1 loop.
We try on the hat, knit the edge on the hat:
1st row: single crochets
2nd row: elongated columns
3rd row: single crochets
4th row: elongated columns
We cast on 15 air loops, without tearing the thread from the hat, connect it to the hat
We knit a row of elongated loops, alternating rows with single crochets and elongated loops. In each row, at the beginning and at the end, we do not knit one loop. The result will be a beard in the shape of a triangle.
Knitting handles
We knit a small nose with pink yarn.
We knit the bag according to the principle of a hat, tie it with a string
We take a cocktail tube and tie it with single crochets, twist the knitting and knit a cone at the end.
And we begin to assemble the toy: we stuff the arms and hat with napkins, sew on the arms, a bag and a stick, and grab the hat. Grandfather Frost is ready!
You can put a small surprise in Santa Claus's bag: a chocolate bar, a keychain, etc. If you wish, you can embroider a snowflake with white yarn or New Year's rain, embroider a fur coat with beads and decorate it with rhinestones.
Well, what would Grandfather Frost be without the Snow Maiden! Add a little imagination and the Snow Maiden is ready! It is knitted according to the same principle as Santa Claus, it all depends on your imagination and creativity.
