inspired to crochet this amigurumi Santa as soon as I saw the pattern in Simply Crochet. At 16cm he is bigger than I’d imagined (don’t you hate pattern illustrations with no size perspective) but now sits nicely on my display unit, surveying the festive preparations.

I live in Scotland, used to live in New Zealand and travel often for work and pleasure.
I always have my camera with me and enjoy recording daily life and quirky things I see. Digital art and recording life are my primary creative outlets at the moment.
I've tried many crafts and still knit sometimes and make jewellery and play with paper, glue, stickers and brads.

Your crocheting skills are growing apace! He looks suitably festive :).
Oh, I love this! I hadn't heard of amigurumi, so of course, I had to google it to learn more. I might have to give this a try!
so very cute
He's very cute! I'm with you on the size perspective, grrr! Thanks for visiting my blog and spotting my missing ingredient! It's 2 bananas. I'll go and edit my post now!
Very festive (just said festive instead of cute to be different, He is also cute!)
Oh he is just adorable! Well done, Helena!
He's adorable. Oh I hate patterns like that.
Cute!

How lovely! His little pink face is just gorgeous.
