Santa Chocolate Orange Cover & Stuffed Ornament Knitting Pattern PDF

Knit a cheerful little Santa with two finishing options included in one pattern. Make him as a festive cover for a standard chocolate orange or add the knitted base and stuffing to create a freestanding Christmas ornament.

Santa measures approximately 16 cm tall and is knitted flat in DK yarn using straight needles. The design features a shaped red body, black belt with an embroidered yellow buckle, separate arms and hands, a generous knitted beard, two-piece moustache and a traditional pointed hat with a fluffy pompom.
