Do not fasten off the last one, we’ll keep crocheting to join all the pieces.
Joining the pieces:
1. Leave the piece on the hook, we’re going to join the 3 bigger pieces first. Insert the hook in the first st of the second piece and make 12 sc. Now, insert the hook in the first st of the last piece, make 24 sc around it, 12 sc around the middle piece, 24 sc around the first piece. (72)
2. 24 sc (make sure you are exactly on the side, make a few extra sts or undo a few if necessary), we are going to join the two smaller pieces now: insert the hook in the first st of the piece and make 18 sc around it. Continue with 36 sc, add the 5th piece and make 18 sc around it, 12sc (108)
3. 98 sc (we won’t work the last 10 sts, this rnd should end exactly on the side. Adjust the number of sts if necessary).
4. Stuff the pieces lightly. Flatten the beard, join both sides with 49 sc.
5. Ch 1 and turn, 49 sc. Fasten off and weave in the tail.

Assembling
Hat
Attach a long piece of white cotton yarn to the hat, we’re going to sew it to the head using the sc loops from row 37, not the slst from the last round.
Adjust the hat before sewing: the front will be between rnds 10-11 and on the back we will gradually go down a few rows as we sew. The middle of the back of the hat should be on rnd 18.
Stuff the hat lightly before you finish sewing it.
Beard
Attach a long piece of white cotton yarn to the beard.
Sew one end of the beard on the side of the head, it should touch the last rnd of the hat. Then, we will gradually go down a few rows when sewing the side of the beard until we get to the middle of the face.
The front of the beard should be between rnds 22-23 for about 10 sts, then we will gradually go up a few rows until we sew the other end to the hat.
Nose
Stuff the nose and sew it to the face.
The top should be between rows 19-20 and the bottom between rows 21-22, there will be one row of skin color between the beard and the nose.
Mustache
Sew the first rnd of the mustache to the side of the nose, rnd 4.
Sew the back of the mustache to the face: choose a couple of random stitches on the face just so the mustache won’t move. Fasten off and hide the tails.
Eyebrows
Make 2 eyebrows with white yarn: ch 7, 6 sc, ch 1 and turn, 5 sc, 1 slst. Fasten off.
Sew eyebrows to the face, the top should be between rows 11-12 (there will be 1 rnd of skin color between the hat and the eyebrow), the bottom should be between rows 13-14.
Make sure the eyebrows are aligned with the mustache. Leave 8 sts between the eyebrows. Thank you very much for choosing amigurumireceitas.com when embroidering the crochet santa plush pillow pattern.
Eyes
With black embroidery thread (double it) or black cotton yarn, embroider the eyes on the face.
The inner corner should be 2 rows below the eyebrow, move two sts to the side and go up 1 row, then move 4 sts to the side and go dow 2 rows.
Leave 7 sts between the eyes.
Crochet santa is ready!
