Easy Crochet Mrs Claus Amigurumi: Free Pattern

BySigoni Macaroni

Are you looking for the cutest pair of Christmas amigurumi dolls to decorate your home this winter? This crochet Mrs Claus Amigurumi pattern is EASY with minimal decreasing and sewing! It is also very quick to work up and it’s a free crochet pattern! After making Mrs Claus, you’ll have to make a crochet Santa Claus to accompany her!

This set of Christmas amigurumi patterns are probably my favorite designs to date. I think the reason why is because I was so inspired and determined to make these dolls work. Let me tell you the backstory.

Mrs Claus Christmas Amigurumi: The Design

If you don’t already know, I’m biracial. My dad is black, my mom is white.

Growing up, we had these two dolls we’d put up every year during the Christmas season: a black Santa and a white Mrs. Claus. They were my absolute favorite dolls. They were holding candles and they would dance and sing. I remember it like it was yesterday!

To my devastation, both dolls were somehow lost. 😢 But I never stopped loving them!

For years I’ve looked for similar dolls to have in my own home but could never find the same ones from my childhood. And honestly, I’m surprised to say that NO PLACE that I’ve seen sells mixed race Christmas dolls. If you find one, let me know in the comments!

So because crochet is AMAZING and the possibilities are endless… I decided to make my own!

I wanted them to have a sort of ragdoll style so I drew them out first (you can see my drawing below) and then just went for it!

I hope you love them too!

If you’d like to purchase the ad-free PDF for both Santa and Mrs. Claus amigurumi patterns, you can grab the bundle HERE.

Skin Color for Mrs. Claus

My favorite yarn to use for skin color for amigurumi is Lion Brand Skein Tones. I used Almond for Mrs. Claus and you can head over here to learn more about Santa’s skin color. Of course, you can use any skin color you’d like!

You obviously don’t have to make a mixed race Santa and Mrs. Claus either. Just do what suits your family!

Crocheting Through The Emotions

Because these little ones have a special place in my heart, I crocheted them for kindness. I’ve already given away 3 sets, and of course I made some for our family as well!

These amigurumi Christmas characters make wonderful gifts, especially to a biracial family since it’s near impossible to find this sweet couple as a mixed race set.

Mrs Claus Apron

Starting with White,

Row 1: Ch 2, 4sc in first chain (4)

Row 2: Ch 1, turn. 2sc each st across (8)

Row 3: Ch 1, turn. [2sc next st, sc next st] Rep [ ] to end of row (12)

Add Green yarn to the first stitch of the round you just worked

Row 8: Sl st to next stitch, [ch 4, sl st into same st, sl st next 2 st]. Rep [ ] 12 more times.

Tie off and weave in ends (except the one used to attach to body)

I like to sew the apron on before the arms because it helps me sew the arms on evenly after. Use pins to line your apron up on right under the top white row in the middle of her belly.

Facial Features

To create the eyes, I followed this really quick video by Theresa’s Crochet Shop. The only difference that I made was pushing my tapestry needle through the back of the head and to the front where I wanted the eyes to be. I also didn’t create the eyelashes for Santa, but I did for Mrs. Claus!

After making the second eye, push the needle back through the head, knot the yarn together and cut it leaving a half inch or so. Use your tapestry needle or crochet hook to push the knot back into the head so you can’t see it. Just make sure you don’t tie the knot too tight or it will mess up the eyes. Do the same with the nose.

I sewed the eyes on the 4th skin color row from the top (right under the gray hairline) with two stitches separating each eye. The nose is placed right in between the eyes.

You could also use safety eyes if you’d prefer.

Arm Assembly

Sew the arms onto the first Scarlet colored row under the White “collar” part on either side. I chose to sew my arms slightly slanted so they angled towards the belly.

You might want to use pins to hold them in place and to make sure the arms are evenly aligned.

Mrs. Claus’ Hair

Use the yellow pom pom maker from the Clover set to make a pom pom hair bun for Mrs. Claus! Sew to the top of her head, slightly towards the back.
