    Time to decorate! Use some black cotton to sew the belt. With the same thread, sew the eyes. I make each eye with two stitches on top of each other.

    If you want to make an ornament, you can attach the thread at this point. Go through the Santa from bottom to top, make a loop and go through it again. Make a knot at both sides. Then cut the red yarn and close your work by weaving through the remaining 6 stitches. Weave in the end. You're done!
