Crochet Santa Ken Claus

Crochet Santa Ken Claus by Rebeckah's Treasures ~ All the pieces in the set.
After many weeks of searching, I was finally able to get my hands on some more red to finish crocheting Santa Ken Claus.  His set includes all the pieces you see in the picture to the right.

Think of all the jolly good fun children will have with their very own Saint Nicholas.  He will make for really great stories and playtime fun!

I am still working on the pattern.  However, it is available to pre-order in Rebeckah's Treasures' Crochet Pattern Store, and it will be ready early this week. See Crochet Santa Ken Claus Pattern.

Santa Ken's Hat

When, I started to work on Santa Ken, I knew the best place to start would be with the hat.  So, I did just that!

It is worked amigurumi style, starting from the top to make the ball, then switching into red.  Then, a fun trim was added to the rim.

Santa Ken's Beard

Next, I thought it would be good to crochet the beard.  It took me a little bit to figure out just how I was going to do it.  Plus, I did it in gray first as I didn't think white would look good, but as you can see I changed my mind and decided in the end the white was best.  I used the double loop stitch (links to video tutorial) to crochet this beard in the end..

Santa Ken's Body Suit

Before I could do anything else, except for the shoes, I need to figure out how I was going to make Ken more round and jolly.  It took a few tries with the first one making him look pregnant, but I was finally able to come up with this.
It is worked vertically, and it is made of three pieces.  All the pieces are crocheted.  Then, the breast piece is sewn onto the inside, and lightly stuffed before sewing on the front internal piece, and stuffing that one.  Afterwards, three small snaps are sewn to the back, and a few stitches are sewn to close the crotch at the bottom.

This is probably my most favourite piece of the whole set!  You don't ever get to see a plump barbie doll, so I am really please that I was able to make one.  It just wouldn't be Santa if he wasn't round and plump.  Below you'll see Santa kindly modeling the pieces thus far...

Santa Ken's Coat

The coat was the second to last piece to be completed as I had run out of red before I could crochet the sleeves.

This is crocheted from the bottom up the front left panel.  Then, from the middle up the back panel, and the middle up the front right panel.  The shoulder seams were sewn together, then I made a white trim around the edges.

When I was finally able to get my hands on more red, I crocheted the sleeves from the wrist up in the red only. Then, I sewed them closed and attached it to the coat.  Finally, I added the same trim to the wrists of the sleeves.
Below is Santa Ken modeling all the pieces of the outfit without his bag..

Santa Ken's Belt

While I was waiting for more red, I was still able to crochet the belt.  So, I crocheted long rows in black so they overlapped.  Then, I crocheted a gray buckle.  Next, the buckle was sewn onto one side of the belt.  Finally, two sets of snaps were sewn onto it to fasten each side together.

Santa Ken's Trousers & Suspenders

Once the body suit was completed, I was able to work on the trousers.  They are worked from the top down the left leg, and then from where it broke off, down the right leg.  Afterwards, the crotch seam is sewn, and a white trim is crocheted unto the ankles of the trousers.

The suspenders are more for show than for actually holding the pants up.  They were created by chaining, single crocheting some, chaining some more, single crocheting some more, etc... until I got the right shape.  Then the ends were sewn directly onto the trousers.

See Santa Ken modeling them below...

Santa Ken's Boots

After I had crocheted the hat and beard, I crochet the boots.  It just happened to be daytime and sunny when I finished the other pieces, and it is much easier to crochet in black when there is ample amounts of light.  These are crocheted in rounds from the bottom up.

Santa Ken's Toy Sack

The final piece of the set to be crocheted was Santa Ken's toy sack.  It is worked amigurumi style in red until I got it to a decent size.  Afterwards, I crocheted the same white trim to the edge of it, and finally, I crocheted a tie and attached it to the sack.

For fun, I took pictures of the sack with the mini toys I crocheted at the end of August, and some cardboard presents I whipped up earlier this month.  They are free patterns on this blog.  See Crochet Toys for Kelly for all the patterns, or Crochet Kelly's Bear and Ball for the bear, and Crochet Kelly's Doll for the dolly.
