She is a wonderful housewife, a reliable friend, the best adviser and an irreplaceable assistant to the Russian “Santa Claus”. And if it weren’t for Grandma Snegurka, Grandfather would not have had time to visit all the kids and give out such welcome surprises and presents.

Preparation of materials and process of creating a figure
Before you start work, you need to prepare:
- Red wool blend yarn - 50 grams.
- Cream-colored wool blend yarn - 15 grams.
- White yarn - 1 gram.
- “Grass” yarn for beard – 10 grams.
- Pieces of foam rubber.
- Black beads for eyes.
- Glue gun.
- Scissors.
Knitting body figures
The first stage of work is knitting the Grandfather’s torso. For this purpose, red yarn and Grass yarn will be used. We crochet a chain of three loops and connect it so that we get a small ring.
- Starting row. Knitting loops with the addition of 1 extra loop to each.
- Second and third row. A loop is added to every even number.
- Fourth and fifth row: tied in a circle. Loops are not added.
- Sixth row. Loops are added to each even numbered stitch.
- From the seventh to the tenth row: rows are knitted in the round. Loops are not added in this case.
- Eleventh line. Loops are added every two.
- From the twelfth to the fifteenth row. No loops are added. The rows are knitted strictly in the round.
- Sixteenth line. An increase is made in every third stitch.
- From the seventeenth to the nineteenth row: knit in the round. There is no need to add loops.
The body of the figurine is almost ready. Now it needs to be filled with pieces of foam rubber. After filling the body, you need to knit from the inside. The next 2 rows are simply knitted in the round, after which the stitches are shortened. Two rows must be decreased every 2 stitches. In the next row, the reduction occurs through each loop, then in each loop. The thread is cut and the body is completely finished.
You can tie a white thread around the bottom and top of the body in a circle so that you get an impromptu edge on Grandfather’s fur coat.
Knitting a head from yarn
Knitting the figurine's head is made from cream-colored yarn. To get started, 3 loops are connected into a ring. Next 2 rows an increase is knitted in each stitch. On the third row, the increase is performed through 1 loop. The fourth row is performed in a circle without any increase. The fifth row is performed exactly the same as the third.
From the sixth to the ninth - knitting is done in a circle. There is no need to add anything at these stages. On the tenth line the reduction is performed every 3 stitches. We knit the eleventh line without any additives. The next row is similar to the tenth row in its design. The difference is the number of cuts. They occur every 2 holes. After which knitting is performed without adding or subtracting - 1 row. The last line is shortened in each loop and the remaining thread is cut.
Making a cap for Grandfather
At the initial stage, the hat is made of red threads. The work begins with a ring of three loops. In the first two lines, you need to make an addition in each line. The next row allows adding through one sling. Then knitting occurs without any additives. In the fifth line, the addition occurs through each line. The next row is simply knitted in the round. The last two rows are made with White Grass yarn for beauty, and the thread is cut.
Making the hands of Santa Claus
The hands are knitted from red threads. Getting started is also done from those loops that are connected to each other:
- First line. Increase in every hole.
- Second line. There is no increase.
- Third line. A chain of five holes is knitted. Then it is folded in half and knitted in the round. It turns out to be a finger.
- Fourth line. It does not involve additions.
- Fifth line. Knitted with Grass yarn.
Then we knit in a circle with red threads. After this, the hand is filled with foam rubber. In the next few lines the reduction is performed. The second arm of the figure is knitted similarly to the first.
Then you can attach the head to the body using a glue gun. Grandfather’s face must be decorated with the beard familiar to all children. For this, the needlewoman will need white yarn. For a beard, it is enough to knit two rows on the figure’s face. The arms are glued to the body of the figure.

Knitted Pinocchio cap using a crochet hook
For both boys and girls, a funny Pinocchio cap will suit their everyday look. A crocheted accessory will make a child stand out among his peers and emphasize his bright personality.
To work, you will need a hook number 3 and a skein of white and pink yarn.
Cast on a chain of chain loops around the circumference of your head, the number of loops should be a multiple of 10 or 12.
Knit the first row with s/n stitches and close the circle, then knit a relief elastic band. The elastic is formed by s/n stitches, which are knitted around the leg of the previous stitch. The hook for the front stitch occurs on the front side of the knitting; for the back stitch, the hook is inserted from the wrong side of the fabric.
The elastic band can be narrow or wide at the discretion of the craftswoman. Now switch to a white thread; to do this, knit the last connecting loop of the row with another yarn.
Knit the fabric, alternating colored stripes, but do not break the threads, but carefully hide them on the wrong side of the fabric. When the cap reaches the top of the head, begin to decrease evenly.
In each row, knit 2 tbsp. together on every 10 stitches, in the next row on every 9th, after on every 8, 7, 6, 5 and so on.
To make the cap long, some rows can be knitted without decreasing. At the tip, connect all the columns with one loop and decorate the work with a fluffy pompom.
Note to needlewomen! Victoria Yakubovich made a magnificent multi-colored cap. The craftswoman is ready to share the secrets of knitting a cheerful holiday hat in the Pinocchio style in a video lesson.

Crocheted Santa hat
During the Christmas holidays, a knitted New Year's hat will suit both grandfathers, fathers, and restless children; crocheting it according to the pattern will give pleasure to caring and skilled craftswomen.
To knit a classic Santa hat you will need a No. 2.5 hook and 50 g each of white and red wool yarn.
Cast on a chain of air loops around the circumference of your head, preferably so that the number of loops is divided by 6. Close it in a circle and knit the first row with s/n stitches. Switch to a relief elastic band, alternating the front and back stitches.
Perform the elastic band to the required height. Many needlewomen knit 18-20 rows, and then fold and sew a double elastic band, giving the hat a beautiful volume. Switch to the red thread and perform 12 r. columns b/n.
The next step is to reduce the cap evenly. Divide the number of loops by 6. For example, there are 60 loops, divide by 6, you get 10. This means we knit 9 s/n stitches, and knit 10 and 11 together. Knit one row without decreasing, and in the next row, make 8 stitches s/n, and knit 9 and 10 together. Using this principle, the cap is reduced to 10-12 loops.
Work several rows without decreasing to get an elongated cap tip. In the last rows, the loops are cut one at a time and the work is beautifully closed. Decorate the party hat with a white pompom and optionally attach a fluffy beard. Attention needlewomen! Video tutorial on how to crochet a Santa hat. An easy lesson with a step-by-step explanation will help novice, inexperienced craftswomen understand the work.

Crocheted little chef's hat
Find out how to crochet an original chef's hat using the example of the Japanese toy Amigurumi.
The scheme of work is very simple! Take white acrylic yarn and hook No. 1.5-2. First you need to knit 5 or 6 convex petals, similar to small hats, and leave long tips to fasten the parts.
From the wrong side, use connecting loops to carefully assemble the top of the cap and create the appearance of a beautiful flower. Knit 2-3 rows of non-woven stitches around the entire perimeter of the part.
The next step is to lower the cook cap. If you have 5 petals, then decrease 2 loops in the center of each, making a total of 10 decreases. In the next row, remove 5 more stitches between the convex petals. Next, check the resulting volume and try the cap on the future cook. If the number of loops exceeds the head circumference, then in the next rows decrease a few more loops between the petals.
Knit the chef's hat to the desired height, complete the work and carefully secure all the ends. In such an original headdress, a child can play a cheerful, kind and hospitable chef at the holiday.
How to knit a Santa Claus hat from the eyebrows to the crown
For knitting, measure the circumference of the head, the height of the hat and the width of the headband that will be knitted with an elastic band.
Step 1. Headband: cast on loops for the height of the headband, start crocheting behind the back wall of the loops using single crochets (photo 7),
we knit an elastic band with a length equal to the circumference of the head (photo 9),
we fold the resulting fabric along the length so that the loop with the hook is on the right, we connect the edges with columns behind the front and back walls of the halves (photo 10),
turn the bezel right side out, cast on loops along the edge of the fabric with red yarn using single crochets (photo 11),
We continue to knit the circular fabric behind the back walls of the loops to the size of the height of the hat (photo 12).
Step 2. Decrease loops.
To avoid wedges, we make decreases in random places in the row, marking them with marks (photo 13).
The fewer markers we put, the longer the end of the cap will end up. The marker for the beginning of the row should differ from the others in color or size:
we skip one loop, and in the next we knit a single crochet behind the back wall, we do this decrease at each mark, then we knit two rows without changing the number of loops (photo 14),
for the next decreases, we raise the markers in the current row and move them in a circle to another place. We leave the marker for the beginning of the row in the same position, knit a row with decreases, then two rows without changes, etc., when 10 loops remain, pull the thread from two loops, and knit together with the loop on the hook, tighten the remaining loops (photo 15 ).
Step 3. Make a pompom and attach it to the crown (photo 16).
Adviсe.
1. The first method makes the tip of the cap shorter than the second. If you still need to knit it so that it is longer, then add columns not in each row, but after one or two. The main thing is that the transition to the wider part is smooth.
2. If you need a softer cap, then knit it behind the back walls of the loops.
Good luck and joy in the New Year!

How to knit a New Year's hat from the crown to the eyebrows
To work, measure the distance from the crown to the eyebrows and the circumference of the head.
Step 1. Top of the cap:
We make a ring with red thread, knit 6 tbsp into it (photo 1),
knit a connecting loop (photo 2),
we make a rise from two air loops, in the same loop we make 1 st/1n, then in every second loop we knit 2 st/1n,
in the next row we make 2 st/1n in every fourth loop, then in every sixth, etc., until we get the size of the head circumference (photo 4).
Step 2. Bottom of the cap.
We knit several rows without changing the number of loops. For us, this part will have the shape of a pipe, the length of which is equal to the height of the cap. The headband is knitted from white yarn using single crochets (photo 5) or puffy stitches (photo 6).
Step 3. Attach a pompom to the top of the head.
