Crochet Santa Apron

The Crochet Santa Apron the 3rd apron in my Kids Christmas Crochet Apron series! I have one more design to show you after this. These patterns are super simple and of course you can add any kind of embellishments of your choosing. Feel free to make bigger or smaller by adjusting the starting chain and adding rows. The rich yarn colors from the Bernat Super Value line are perfect for these aprons! You could also choose to use cotton yarn like Lily Sugar’n Cream.

– Bernat Super Value yarn in Berry Red, Black, and White (one skein of each). You will need a bit of Bright Yellow for the buckle. Shop yarn at Yarnspirations.com!
