Hey Lovelies! It’s finally time to make Mother Christmas! It was fun to design her so tiny but not losing the vibes she owns. Santa would be no where without her. She always supports him year round. Baking cookies and giving him milk. Or am I mixing up holidays now?! I hope not! Anyway I hope you will make her along with me.

♥ Assembling
Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I’m happy. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.
Put the apron around the body. Then sew the head to her body and attach the arms as well. Next sew on her hair and her bun. I shaded the hair a bit with some Grey pastel, but you don’t have to do this. Around the bun, tie a bit of Red yarn. With a bit of Black yarn create her mouth.
If you want to hang it, don’t forget to add a loop to the top.
I hope you enjoyed today’s pattern! I think it’s adorable. If you decided to make any of the blogmas amigurumi, please show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY. I’d love to see what you make using my patterns.
