Instructions in 5 steps A variety of macramé knots turns gradually into Christmas decorative items.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Hot melt glue gun, scissors, cardboard tube of a kitchen paper towel or toilet, paper roll, needle

And this is how it works:

Preparatory

Prepare the following yarn pieces: 17× white yarn (25 cm each) for the beard and 13 × coloured macramé yarn (25 cm each) for the beany. You will also need a 1.5 cm wide ring made of cardboard or stiff paper, e.g. the cardboard tube of a toilet paper roll.

Step 1 - Beany

Now create Santa's beany. To do this, attach the coloured yarn pieces to to the cardboard ring with a front anchor bend knot¹. Tighten the loop so that the knot is at the top edge of the ring. Do the same with all the other yarns for the beany.The yarns are only located on the front of the ring. If you wish to create a beany with a view from the rear, you have to double the number of yarn pieces. Tie up the beanie with a piece of yarn.

The instruction for the knots can be found in the PDF version of the Craft Idea. Just download it.

Step 2 - Beard

Take the 17 pieces of yarn cut to the length of 25 cm and attach them consecutively to the wooden ring with a front anchor bend knot¹.

Step 3 - Beard

Fray each yarn with a needle and then cut the beard to desired length.

Step 4 - Completion

Adjust the beany to fit the upper part of the ring, connecting it to the top edges of the beard and affix it to the wooden ring using a bit of hot-melt glue. Glue the wooden ball in the middle of the beard as a nose using a bit of hot-melt glue.
