How tall are Mr and Mrs Santa Claus?
Hi there, the Santa comes out to almost 13″ and Mrs. Claus comes out to nearly 14″ from the bun to the feet 🙂
Thank you for sharing this pattern. I used a 2mm hook and locally available yarns.
My Mrs Claus head is wobbly is there anything I can do to fix it
Made both Santa and Mrs. Claus. Both turned out very cute!
