In this tutorial, I show you how to crochet a small simple Santa sack ornament to decorate your Christmas tree or to combine with an amigurumi.

This project you can finish in about 1 hour and I suggest you to work with a glitter yarn to give an elegance touch.

Used yarn and accessories

I used:

  • 50 gr mercerized cotton yarn ICE YARNS brown color
  • 20 gr metallic polyester acrylic ORO MONDIAL red color
  • Crochet hook size 3 mm
  • scissor
  • stitchmarker
  • needle
  • Polystyrene ball 17 cm circumference

Other recommended yarns: try doing it with the golden cord, the result will be a much bigger and more robust sack than the one proposed in the tutorial.

Cotton, wool and acrylic are ideal for this bag if you want a softer finish.

Depending on the yarn you choose, you will need to adjust the crochet hook size.

📜 Tutorial crochet sack

The Santa Sack is to crochet in continuos round, without closing with a slip stitch at the end of each round.

Use a stitch marker to mark the first or the last stitch of the round and move it.

To give the shape, I used a polystyrene ball about 17 cm in circumference.

Follow the table down here to start with a circle.

Cut the yarn and hide it. Now take a contrasting colour, better if “glittered”, like the red one I chose to make the string. Make 90 CHs, fasten them and then cut the thread leaving a long end of about 20 cm.

Knot the string made between the 25th and 26th round and form a bow. Stitch the ends of the string together and then, with the same thread, run over the top back of the bag to form a loop, so you can hang it on the branch of the Christmas tree. Watch the video to see how.
