2. Row 1: 3 sc across. Turn.
3. Row 2: Ch 1, 3 inc (6 sc). Turn.
4. Row 3: Ch 1, 6 sc across.

Attach apron by sewing or tacking just below head, tie or sew ends at the back of the doll. Adjust for symmetry before final fastening.

Arms (Embroidered Hands)

With Skin color yarn:

• Use a long strand. Bring needle up from bottom of skirt to just below each eye (in the red 'dress' portion), wrap 4 times around a vertical stitch for each hand; repeat for both sides.
• Exit out the bottom and tie off ends snuggly and neatly.

Embroidery (Face & Hair Accessories)

• Mouth: Use a separated strand of red yarn or embroidery thread. Embroider a small "smile" one row below eyes, centered between them.
  Save
• Hair tie/bun ribbon: Use red yarn. Wrap/twist and cinch tightly around top “bun” to create a bow, as shown. Sew or tie in place.
• Bun parting: Use a bit of white to define bun if desired.

Final Assembly

• Close base: Thread tail through last 8 front loops, pull tight, weave in, and bring through center bottom to hide tail.
• If desired, form a loop with the tail as a hanger.
• Smooth shape and trim any loose yarn ends.

Conclusion

Congratulations! Your Mini Mrs. Claus amigurumi is finished, ready for gifting or holiday decor. This design works well in both worsted and plush yarn for different effects.

Pattern Correction

• If bottom or apron is noticeably lopsided after removal from hook, even out with a few hand stitches before attaching apron.
• For color changes, remember to complete the last yarn-over of previous stitch with new yarn for tidy transitions.

Tips

• When stuffing, keep the head and skirt more firmly stuffed, and the bottom slightly flatter for stability.
• Embroider facial features with fine thread or separated yarn for neater lines.
• Safety eyes are best added before closing and stuffing lower body.
• Use plush/blanket yarn and larger hook for a squishier, plush version; you may want to size up apron and accessories as needed.
