commercial purposes
Materials:
yarn
crochet hook, appropriate size for the yarn chosen
one safety eye
stuffing (fiberfill, polyfill, etc.)
tapestry needle
felt
glue gun

What I used:
medium worsted weight yarn (red, white, black, yellow, and gray)
chunky yarn for rim of hat (optional)
crochet hooks (Sizes F and G)
9 mm safety eye
white felt for eye
yellow felt for belt buckle
black felt for mouth

Finished Size:
Santa Minion will sit approximately 6.5 - 7 tall from tooshie to tip of the pom-pom, based on the
materials that I used and depending on how you position the hat. Sizes may vary depending on the
yarn, tension used, and size of crochet hook.

Abbreviations:
R = round
st = stitch
ch = chain stitch
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
inc = increase (single crochet twice in the same stitch)
dec = decrease (single crochet two stitches together)
* = repeat instructions between * and *

Important Notes:
Each piece begins with a Magic Double Ring unless otherwise stated. Use any type of ring you are
comfortable with (i.e. adjustable loop, chain 2, and single crochet in second chain, etc.). Work in
one continuous spiral; do not join.
If you have any questions while making this doll or find errors in the pattern, please send me an
email at jamigurumicrochet@gmail.com or send me a message on Ravelry.
** I use two types of hooks in this pattern (F and G) and notate which hook at the beginning of
each part. Please take note of the hook size before starting! **

Fun Tidbits (optional):

While stuffing the body and/or head, add a rattle in the middle to make a fun toy!
Add weight to the doll by putting weighted poly beads or glass beads in the bottom/tooshie
area. This will even help your doll sit better!

Happy Crocheting!

Pom-Pom on Hat (white yarn)

There are several different ways to create yarn pom-poms.
Here is a link to the easiest, fastest way, which is also the
method I used:

&v=aTTDVryeFbY

What I did: I simply wrap the yarn around my index and

middle finger 20 times, tie tightly in the center (leave the
tying strand long for tying later; see photo), and then cut the
loops. Afterwards, give your pompom a haircut. The shorter
you cut, the fuller it will look. Insert the long tails into the tip
of the hat at different points and tie tightly.
 Arms (F hook, make 2)
Beginning with black yarn,
R1: 5 sc in a ring (5)
R2: * sc 1, inc 1 * repeat 2 times. Just sc for the last stitch. (7)
R3: sc around (7)
Switch to yellow yarn,
R4-10: sc around (7)
Fasten off and leave tail for sewing. Do not stuff.

Legs (F hook, make 2)

Beginning with black yarn,
R1: 6 sc in a ring (6)
R2: inc 6 (12)
R3-4: sc around (12)
Switch to red yarn,
R5-6: sc around (12)
Fasten off leave tail for sewing.

Santa Belt (F hook)

Belt -
With black yarn,
Chain 39. Starting at the 2nd ch from the hook, sl st all the
way back to the end. Leave tail long for sewing (38)
FO, and use that tail to sew the ends together.
Sl st to fasten off and leave tail for sewing.
Buckle
Cut yellow felt into a hollowed rectangular shape. See
photo. Tip: the easiest way to do this is to cut the rectangle,
fold it in half, and then cut out the center. Snowflake style

 Assembly (order of assembly is entirely up to you)
1) Sew goggle onto body around the felt eye
2) Sew black goggle strap to the sides of the goggle
3) Slightly stuff hat (optional) and then sew onto head
4) Stuff and sew legs to overalls
5) Sew the opening of the arms shut, and then sew arms onto body. You can use the overall
straps as a guide to where to sew the arms onto.
6) Slip the body into the overalls. I like to glue it down so it feels secure but thats optional.
7) Attach belt and glue on felt belt buckle
8) Cut mouth shape out of black felt. Customize to however you want! Glue mouth onto
body.

Tada, youre done!
