How to Crochet Santa Charm & Wall Hanging for Christmas
I have finally found a video tutorial for crocheting a Santa charm that can be used as a wall hanging, plus well-designed, too. If you are going to decorate specifically for kids, I recommend considering this medium-sized Santa adornment that is finished with no sewing at all. This is a part of the popular and awaited 3 Christmas character wall hangings since these hangings are crocheted in flat, but the face details are sewn onto.
There is much to love in this Christmas hanging, especially the funny mustache and easy shell stitch beard that is a bit different from the one used in the square version. The pattern is actually easy, even for beginners.

It will be the best gift ever!

Crochet Christmas Santa Face Tutorial
Quick Summary & Skill Level: Intermediate. The face is worked in the round using the Double Crochet stitch, with Increases for a flat round shape. Crochet the white trim for the beard and hat edge using a Long Point stitch (a variation of treble crochet with three passes/yarn-overs) worked in a shell pattern by Single Crochet or Slip Stitches.
The red Santa hat is worked in rows, with Double Crochet, using Decreases in a triangle shape. The smaller accessories, like the nose and lip, use Magic Ring, Chain, Single Crochet, and Slip Stitch techniques. Finally, the pieces are attached not by sewing, but by applying Silicone (glue) to attach.
Tutorial-Timing: 33 Minutes Only
Quick Tips: You can also crochet the puffy beard inspired by the popular Santa face, as in this drawstring bag. Work around this crochet face to complete a square wall hanging that will give a very nice 3D look, like in Granny Square Santa.
Quick Guides for Special Stitches
The following are the crochet techniques that the tutor will be using for crocheting this Christmas hanging:
- Double Crochet: Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, and pull through the last two loops.
- Increase: Work two complete Double Crochet stitches into the same stitch to add stitches to the round.
- Decrease: Begin two Double Crochet stitches but do not finish them, then yarn over and pull through all remaining loops to join the stitches.
- Long Point: Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, pull through one loop, pull through two loops, and pull through the final two loops to create a tall stitch.
