Today’s daily new crochet pattern Amigurumi Christmas Decoration Crochet Pattern without amigurumi
I want to give you some information about this pattern;

Stitches/terms used in this pattern:

(mr) Magic ring

(sc) Single crochet

(inc) Increase – 2sc in same st

(dec) Decrease (invisible) – hook through front loop only

of the next 2 stitches, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn

over and pull through both loops on hook.

Numbers shown in ( ) indicates the number of stitches you

should have at the end of the row/round.

You will need:

For Santa Gonk: Red, White, Black and

a flesh coloured yarn (less than a ball/

skein of each used)

Toy stuffing (Polyester fibre filling)

Yarn needle

Scissors

For weight pouch (optional):

Approx. 100g of dry rice or poly

pellets

A nylon stocking

Other weights can be used instead.

Add some festive cheer to the home with a cute

Santa Gonk. You can also make a Gonk for any

occasion just by changing the colours, or even

make a fun hairy Gonk.

This pattern can be made with any yarn size. The

yarn size you choose will determine the size of

your finished Gonk. Keep to the same size yarn for

each colour. As a guide, using DK yarn with 4mm

hook will produce a Gonk approximately 12cm

tall. Using Bulky (UK chunky) yarn and 6mm hook

produces a Gonk approximately 17cm tall with the

point of hat folded over.

To help you read this pattern, the commas represent each stitch or the number of stitches after x.

For example; [sc, inc,] would mean sc into next st, increase (2sc) in next st. Or [sc x3, inc,] would

mean sc each into the next 3 stitches, increase in the next st.

HOOKED ON PATTERNS

Your Gonk will sit best with a little weight inside. In the pattern, I will give instructions for using a

dry rice or poly pellet pouch make with stockings. You can use other types of weights or omit the

weight completely and just use stuffing if you want to make your Gonk into plushie.

Making the main body:

The main pattern will give instructions for colour changes to make a Santa Gonk, you will need to

join your rounds to keep your colour changes level. At the end of each round, slip stitch into the

first sc to join, start the next round going into the same st you joined into.

If you want to make a single colour Gonk, you can work in continuous rounds and use a stitch

marker after the first stitch to keep track of the beginning of round.

For Santa, start with using Red yarn

R1. Start with a magic ring, sc 6 times into the ring, pull the

ring closed (6)

Remember to join at the end of each round if making Santa

or working different colours on the body piece.

R2. inc x6 (12)

This completes the base of your Gonk.

Change to White yarn here to make the jacket trim.

Make and insert your weight pouch here. For best results, fill

a stocking with dry rice or poly pellets to form a ball slightly

larger than the opening on your body piece, tie the stocking

and trim off extra. Place a layer of polyester stuffing in the

base of the piece, insert your weight and fill around the

weight with more stuffing.

Or continue to add a turn up brim, weaving in the ends here.

R23.-R25. sc in each st (42 for 3 rounds)

section. For Santa and if desired, attach a small pompom to the

point of the hat. You could add a bell instead, if you like.

Making the nose:

You will need to join at the end of rounds for this piece.

Using a flesh coloured yarn

closed, sl st to join (6)

R6. *sc x3, dec,* repeat between * a total of 3 times, sl st to join

(12)

Lightly fill with stuffing here

R7. dec x3, sl st to join (6)

Fasten off leaving a long tail for attaching. Your nose will be a

triangular shape so you will be positioning the nose with one point at the top and the two other

points to the sides.

Attaching the nose and adding the beard:

Place the hat on the body piece without applying pressure to find

the natural sitting position for the hat.

Decide which side you want the front of body to be (if you are

adding a beard it would be good to hide the joining seam under

the beard) and press a small dip upwards into the hat piece in the

central front position.

Thread your yarn needle on to the yarn tail of the nose piece and

position the nose so it sits nicely in the dip. Hold in place and

attach the nose into position (you can now remove the hat to

stitch around the nose).

If you are adding a beard, cut strands of yarn long enough to be

folded in half and reach from the top of nose to base of body.

Start along the top of the nose, place your hook around a

horizontal stitch of the body piece, from the top going down, fold

a cut strand in half and pull through to form a loop on hook, pull

the ends through the loop and pull tight. Repeat this process

along the body stitches all the way around the nose piece. Add

another row under the nose. You can add more wherever

necessary to fill any gaps. Trim the attached strands to form more

of a beard shape. You can leave the beard as straight strands or

unravel the strands to get a fuller, fluffier beard.

Adding the arms:

Make 2 arms as follows. For Santa, start with flesh colour yarn for hands or Black/Red for gloves.

R1. Start with a magic ring, sc 4 times into ring, pull the ring closed (4)

R2. sc, inc, sc, inc, sl st to join (6)

R3. sc in each st, sl st to join (6)

For Santa, change to White yarn here,

R4. sc x2, inc, sl st to join (8)

R5. sc in each st, sl st to join (8)

For Santa, change to Red yarn here,

R6. sc x3, inc, sc x3, inc, sl st to join (10)

R7.-R10. sc in each st, sl st to join (10 for 4

rounds)

R11. sc x3, dec, sc x3, dec, sl st to join (8)

R12. dec x4, sl st to join (4)

Fasten off leaving a long tail for attaching. To find the positioning for the arms, place the hat on the

body again, tuck the top of arms under the brim of hat on either side. Attach to the body by whip

stitching along the top of the arms with the yarn tails.

Attaching the hat:

Place your hat on the body piece and position so that it

wraps snuggly over the nose and covers the top of the

arms. Using your yarn needle and the tail end left on

the hat piece, stitch around the brim of the hat,

attaching to the body piece.

Congratulations!

You have now finished your Christmas Santa Gonk.

Play around with different colour combinations to make

a Gonk for any occasion! How about making a mascot

using team colours?

To make a hairy Gonk:

You will need fur or eyelash style yarn and normal

yarn in a coordinating colour.

Here I have used Luxe Fur by King Cole in Beaver

with UK Chunky acrylic in grey.

Start with your normal yarn only, work up to R7.

of the body piece to create the base joining at the

end of rounds.

Now turn your piece over so that the wrong side

is facing you. Add the fluffy yarn, hold the fur/

eyelash yarn together with the normal yarn and

work both strands together.

You will work the rest of the body so that the right

side is on the inside, keeping the right side of the

base on the underside. This is because the action

of hooking the stitches towards you traps the

fibres and the fluff stays on the wrong side. You

want the wrong side to show on the outside.
