My Big Fat F***** C*******s

Oh I wish I could make something as wonderful! Well done he’s perfect ?

I’ve ordered the booklet from EBay! I’ve never knitted toys before so it’ll keep me out of mischief!

But think how happy that Grandma would be to know that he’d found such a nice new home!

What a lovely picture.I bought a very similar Father Christmas for £5 in a charity shop about 5years ago and all the family love him.I feel sad when I get him out each year thinking of the Grandma who spent so much time making him only for him to end up in a charity shop. One of mine has already laid claim to him!!

Lovely!

You’re so clever Witzend! Santa is so handsome and just love the cute toys in his sack ?

No, Oopsminty, I haven’t thought of selling them. This one will be for little Gdcs and if I do make any more they’ll be for their school fair raffles (pre school and primary). That’s assuming they’ll still be holding such events of course - if not dd will find homes for them, she has so many friends with little ones.
Thanks again for kind comments. ?

Thanks Witzend. I bet you never thought there’d be so much interest on here!

Don't like the C word but this FC is wonderful!

He is wonderful Witzend think you have a good market here on GN.

Same here merlotgran I always miss the contentious posts.

He's lovely, Witzend! Well done.

I still haven't sewn up the C****** N***** set, apart from Mary and Jesus

And I thought oh no, not another sweary thread this is getting like Mumsnet

He's fabulous, Witzend!

I'd love one

Have you thought about selling some?

Friend of mine who crochets has set up a small work from home business and advertises on FB etc etc.

Oh he is adorable - I would love one too.
Well Done x

Thank you for all kind words.?

He’s 34 cm tall - the pattern is in Jean Greenhowe’s Christmas Special booklet, only exception is the polar bear, which I took from an Alan Dart Advent Calendar pattern. There are other suitable sack items besides the fairy in the same JG booklet: snowman, elf, toy soldier, etc. on the Last Minute dolls page.
Her Nativity set is also in that booklet.

As with all JG patterns, at least all those I’ve tried, the actual knitting is pretty simple and the instructions meticulously detailed. The only fiddly bits were the holly leaves and berries on his hat, but still not difficult.

He didn’t take as long to make as I’d imagined, but still a great excuse for ignoring housework!

Not a particular C*******s fan myself as it happens but my adult autistic son absolutely loves all things Santa so I’m always on the look out, at any time of year. If there’s a pattern we can access, I can ask a bored knitting friend to adopt it as a little lock down project. I’d buy the wool, of course.

Great !!!!!

He is great. Brilliant title.

Where did you get the pattern? He’s lovely. (I’d need three and take a long time to knit anything!).

I'm not a fan of C*******s, in general, but your S***a is lovely.

Love him! I would definitely buy one. Wondering where those C*******s fairs are located!

Well done Witzend, he’s fabulous!

Heavens! l clicked on this thread PDQ because I didn't want to miss anything before it was deleted.

Great Title!
