Pin the Santa Wall Hanging to share it with others!

 

12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 2019

This year I’ll be partnering with SIX super-talented blogger friends

and Yarnspirations to sponsor the Blog Hop!

 

 

 

Week 8

 

 

The Santa Wall Hanging is the perfect way to adorn your door, or a wall. Really it can be hung in so many different ways and it’s so cute! Imagine it over a fireplace with stockings hanging from the mantle, or in a window, or….. use  your imagination!

Thank you to Yarnspirations for providing the yarn for this sample Santa Wall Hanging. I used Red Heart Super Saver in 4 colors. You could use a heavier yarn but of course that would change the finished size a little.

The Santa Wall Hanging is worked in two pieces. Start with the chimney, then work the pants, cuffs and boots, stuff them light for a 3D effect (optional) and then join the pants to the chimney. Add a hanger and you are all set!

 

 

 

Size: 12” wide x 24” tall

 

Materials:

• Made with #4 worsted weight yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver (364 yards per skein) in Cherry Red, Soft White, Black and Light Grey. I used about ½ skein each of the grey and red and about 100 yards each of the white and black.
• 10 – 12 ounce of Poly Fil stuffing (optional)
• Hook US H/5.00 mm
• Tapestry needle

 

Gauge: 14 sc x 14 rows = 4”

 

 

 

 

Abbreviations (US Terms):
BLO: back loop only
ch: chain
dc: double crochet
hdc: half double crochet
sc: single crochet
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)

 

LFPSt (Long Front Post Stitch): Yarn over 4 times (5 loops on hook), insert in designated stitch, yarn over and pull loop through (6 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 loops 5 times (1 loop on hook). BE SURE TO LEAVE THE STITCH BEHIND THIS STITCH UNWORKED!

Notes:

• To make the wooden Welcome sign, see my post HERE!
• Pattern written in US Standard terms.
• The ch1 at the beginning of a round DOES NOT count as a stitch.
• When a number precedes a stitch, it means to work that number of stitches in the designated stitch. Example: 2sc, means you will make two single crochets in the designated stitch.
• When a stitch precedes a number, it means make that stitch in the designated number of stitches. Example: sc 2 means you will make a sc in each of the next two stitches.
• Fasten off at color changes.
• Stitch count is in ( ) at the end of the row.

Snow/Icicles – work in white:

The icicles are totally customizable! They are a series of chains with sc, hdc and dc worked in them. The more chains you start with the longer the snow icicles will be, mine ranged between 5 chains and 11 chains. Feel free to alternate them as you like.

 

Process:

• Ch9, sc in 2^nd ch from hook and next ch, hdc 3, dc in each ch to end, DO NOT TURN;
• Ch7, sc in 2^nd ch from hook and next ch, hdc 3, dc in each ch to end, DO NOT TURN;
• Ch5, sc in 2^nd ch from hook and next ch, hdc to end, DO NOT TURN;
• Repeat instructions above until the icicles are long enough to go across chimney. Ch1, working along top of icicles, sc 41 evenly across. Turn icicles so the wrong side is facing you, place across top of chimney front, match stitches and work sc through both thicknesses to join. Fasten off.

Row 8: Ch1, turn, skip first st, sc 10, skip next st, sc in last st. Fasten off. (11)

Boots – work in black:

Because the two legs are not symmetrical, it is important to mark the outside of the pants for both the back and the front as mentioned earlier.  One boot is started from the outside of the pants and the other is started from the inside. To determine right and left side of boots, lay the pants down with outside facing you and legs facing up, the leg on your right is the “right side”, the one on your left is the “left side”. This will be a different leg for front and back, so just take them one at a time.

Boot for “right side”:

Row 1: Working from outside of leg, skip first st of cuff, join in next st, ch1, sc 9. (9)

Rows 2 & 3: Ch1, turn, sc in each st to end. (9)

Row 4: Ch1, turn, sc in each st to end, ch5. (9 sc + 5 chs)

Row 5: Turn, sc in 2^nd ch from hook and next 3 chs, sc in each st to end. (13)

Row 6: Ch1, turn, sc in each st to end, ch5. (13 sc + 5 chs)

Row 7: Turn, sc in 2^nd ch from hook and next 3 chs, sc in each st to end. (17)

Rows 8 to 11: Ch1, turn, sc in each st to end. (17)

Row 12: Ch1, turn, sc 15, skip next st, sc in last st. (16)

Row 13: Ch1, turn, skip 1 st, sc in each st to end. (15)

Row 14: Ch1, turn, sc 13, skip next st, sc in last st. (14)

Row 15: Ch1, turn, skip 1 st, sc in each st to end. (13)

Row 16: Ch1, turn, sc 7, leave remaining sts unworked. (7)

Row 17: Ch1, turn, sc in each st to end. Fasten off. (7)

Boot for “left side”:

Row 1: Working from inside of leg, skip first st of cuff, join in next st, ch1, sc 9. (9)

Rows 2 to 17: Repeat as for Boot Leg 1.

Finishing:

Joining Front and Back: With inside of pants touching, match legs and line up stitches along the sides and bottom. Join Red yarn at the top corner of pants and working through both thicknesses, sc in each st all around to join, changing working color to match the section you are working (red for pants, white for cuff and black for boot).

Lightly stuff the body then whip stitch the top of the pants closed.

Insert the pants into the chimney and sew chimney to pants.

Add a hanging cord to the feet and hang on your door or wall!
