🎀 Assembly Instructions

1. Attach head to the top of the body using the long tail from the head. Sew securely all around the neck, ensuring head doesn’t wobble.
2. Position and sew hat on the head, tilted slightly to one side for a cheerful look. Attach the pom-pom to the tip of the hat.
3. Create the beard by sewing 18–22 white bobbles around the lower half of the face. Start at the jawline and work up toward the lower cheeks in overlapping layers for a fluffy, cloud-like effect. Leave the area directly under the nose clear for the mustache.
4. Attach mustache pieces directly under the nose, positioning them to curve gently outward.
5. Sew eyebrows above the eyes in gentle arches using the white pieces.
6. Embroider the smile beneath the mustache using red yarn or embroidery thread.
7. Attach legs to the bottom of the body, positioning them wide and angled forward so Santa can sit stably without tipping backward.
8. Attach arms to the sides of the body at shoulder level (approximately at rounds 5–7 from the top of the body). Angle the arms forward so the hands meet in front of the body. Test the positioning with a toilet paper roll to ensure the hands can grip it properly.
9. Wrap and sew the belt around the waist at the black rounds (18–19), securing the ends at the back. Add the belt buckle to the center front if desired.
