📝 Pattern Notes

This is a small project, perfect for using up leftover yarn.
If you want a fluffier beard effect, brush the yarn on the mustache gently with a pet brush.
Increase hook size for a larger ornament.
Safety eyes should not be used for ornaments meant for babies or toddlers.

💡 Tips & Variations

Blush cheeks: Add a tiny dab of pink yarn or blush for an adorable rosy-cheeked Santa.
Beard texture: Use a fuzzy yarn for the mustache if you prefer a fluffier, whimsical style.
Classic vs. modern Santa: Swap skin tone or beard color to match different cultural Santa variations.
Add a hat: Crochet a simple red triangle and stitch it to the top to turn this into a full Santa head ornament.
