Last week, I shared a basket variation of the crochet Santa gift holder. Now, using a similar pattern for the Santa part, learn to crochet this UNIQUE 2-in-1 Santa treat pouch & table buddy decoration with a FREE video tutorial and an upcoming PDF pattern. The idea is to crochet a fat Santa amigurumi without stuffing, with a drawstring hole at the bottom to hold your candies & gifts.

This way, our crochet Santa looks FUNNY, chonky, and just like a doll. That’s why I also call it the crochet surprise candy pouch, as it looks just like an amigurumi Santa!

So, be sure to crochet one this year and continue reading to learn more about this crochet amigurumi gift pouch for Christmas! And you can also choose from the pink, green, brown, and even the golden. So, let’s get started!

Tutorial to Crochet Candy-Filled Santa Pouch

This video shows how to crochet a Santa Claus candy bag. First, you make a round stuffed head using skin-colored yarn. You then attach red, black, and white yarn to the front loops of the head to form the hollow bag body with drawstring eyelets. Next, you crochet small arms, ears, a bobble nose, a mustache, and a layered beard using single, double, and treble crochets.

Finally, you crochet a pointed hat with a yarn pom-pom, attach safety eyes, sew all facial features together, and weave a chained drawstring through the top.
