  12. I love the Santa! My grandmother use to make these and she would be 110 if alive today. She made a wreath, too, and put special beads on it shaped like a leaf. I have looked for these beads but have been unable to find them to purchase in today's world. Did you publish? Just wondering where in the world she would have gotten your pattern. Now I can make them! Thank you!

    1. Thanks Carolyn. I designed and published the Santa pattern on my blog only. It's not the same pattern as your Grandmothers - most likely similar because all Santa's look alike, but not the same. :)

  13. Hi Debi, Remember me? Marilyn, from the crochet group. I check a few sites that add new patterns pages every day. This page came up today. It was so nice to "see" you again. Hope all is well. I'm in NY right now, visiting 3 grandchildren. I'm guessing you still have or can find my email address - I'm also on FB. Give me a holler, if you feel like it. Regards to your hubby & family. Sending hugs, Marilyn

  20. Many years ago, I used to make a santa one very similar to this. I have since lost the pattern. These were my daughter's favorite when she was growing up, and she's 45 now and has been wanting me to make her some. Now I can. Thank you!

  23. Hi Debi,
    your Santa is very cute and we love him. But we cannot understand how you finish Santa's hat. Everything is o.k. until "...2 sc in next sc, ch 3," but what do you mean with "treble around last sc."? We are Germans and we cannot find a translation that fits to your pattern. Furthermore there are different meanings in US and UK. When we end up with a US treble crochet (in German: Doppelstaebchen) there is no connection of the treble crochet with the ch3 so we get a loop, is that correct? Could you explain that last step a little more detailed?
    Thank you very much!

    1. Hi Jorek. Yes you are correct - there is a sort of a loop with the ch3 and the treble. It is the space to glue the pom pom to. :)

    2. Thanks a lot, Debi, that helps us to understand the pattern.

  24. Hi Jorek. I've made several Santas now (everyone's favorite) and when I weave in the end of the red yarn, I kinda of close that loop. HTH.
