Good afternoon friends!

Today, I have a new New Year's character - Santa Claus, we will crochet him. And in the last master class I showed...

Almost every person has a New Year tree in their home; it can be either artificial or real. In any case, it is customary to place Father Frost and the Snow Maiden under the Christmas tree. It can be crocheted from yarn to make a bright and soft toy. You can knit Santa Claus as a gift for friends or family. For knitting, “grass” yarn is used, which is excellent for knitting fur coats and beards.

Santa Claus - materials for knitting:

Red yarn (wool mixture) – 50g.
Cream yarn (wool blend) – 15 g.

White yarn “Travka” – 10g.

Black beads – 2 pcs.
Scissors.
Glue gun.

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.

Kaftan

At the first stage of knitting Santa Claus's caftan, we cast 6 double stitches into the amigurumi ring and close them into a ring, connecting them together with a connecting loop.

We continue further work according to the description presented below:
1st row: row x 6 times = 12 sts
2nd row: (st-k b/n, pr-ka) x 6 times = 18 p
3rd row: (2 treble crochet, crochet) x 6 times = 24 sts
4th row: (3 treble crochet, crochet) x 6 times = 30 sts
Row 5: (4 treble crochet, crochet) x 6 times = 36 sts
6th row: 36 stitches b/n
When we have knitted all 6 rows we should get a round figure like this.

In the next 7th row we will use fancy yarn YarnArt Happy in white to knit the edge of the caftan. Therefore, we change the red thread to a white fancy one and knit a single stitch behind the back wall in each loop of the bottom row.
8th row: 36 stitches b/n

Again we change the yarn from white to main red and continue knitting the caftan according to the description:
Rows 9-16: knit 36 single stitches
Row 17: (4 sts, dec) x 6 times = 30 sts
Rows 18-22: 30 single stitches
Row 23: (3 stitches, dec) x 6 times = 24 sts
Rows 24-27: 24 single stitches
Row 28: (2 stitches, dec) x 6 times = 18 sts

The final stage in knitting a caftan is knitting a collar; for this we change the red thread to white fancy yarn and knit the next two rows with non-woven stitches.

The caftan is ready, you can fill it with holofiber.

For the caftan, we will knit a lapel from fancy yarn, for this we knit 24 chain stitches, we now need to unroll the knitting and knit one single stitch into each stitch of the bottom row until the last stitch.

Head.

We will knit the head of Santa Claus with white YarnArt Jeans yarn and, as usual, we start with an amigurumi ring and 6 stitches cast into it. Below is the description:

Hands.

We start knitting with red yarn.
1st row: 6 dc in amigurumi ring
2nd row: row x 6 times = 12 sts
3-5 row: 12 stitches b/n

In the 6th row, we change the color of the main red yarn to white fancy and knit this row with st-mi b/n, after which we continue knitting with red yarn.

7-16 row: 12 stitches b/n
Row 17: (stc b/n, dec) x 3 times = 9 p
The hand is almost ready - fill it with holofiber and close the loops as described.
18-19 row: 9 stitches b/n
Row 20: (stc b/n, dec) x 3 times = 6 sts
Row 21: dec x 3 times = 3 p

A cap

We tie the last two rows of the hat with fancy white yarn, st-mi, b/n.

Beard.

We knit 20 chain stitches, then we will continue knitting in both directions.

The beard is ready.

Nose.

For the nose, we knit 6 single stitches into a magic ring, join them into a ring and then knit two rows of single stitches.

On the top of the head we sew a hat with hidden stitches, and we sew the head to the collar of the caftan, and we sew the arms on the sides using a tapestry needle in sewing. We sew the lapel of the caftan in the center of the caftan.

Sew the beard to the head, somewhere in the middle.

Above the beard in the center of the face we sew Santa Claus a red nose.

Glue the black half-beads onto Moment glue - these will be the eyes.
