We’ve come to this point step by step, we don’t have much to do now, the process now is that magnificent beard of Santa Claus.

Rnd 2: dec, 2sc, dec (4)

Rnd 3: 4 sc

Rnd 4: 2 dec

Rnd 5: 1 dec

Cut off and secure the thread, weave in the end.

After crocheting your beard, the last part remains to make the hat and then the amigurumi santa claus pattern is ready.

Cut off the thread, pull the stitches with a needle, weave in the ends.

The hat is ready.
