Baby and Toddler SANTA SET

I am so excited to RE-INTRODUCE one of my very popular Christmas patterns from Too Cute Crochet!

See below for the INTRODUCTORY PRICE!

Ever since I released this pattern in sizes Newborn and 3 months only, I have been asked time and again for larger sizes.
Now with the help of my wonderful tech editor and great stitchers, the pattern has been sized for Newborn through 18 months!
The Santa Set contains patterns for both BOY and GIRL and comes in these sizes:

Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months

The PDF includes 32 instruction pages and 25 separate patterns:

For a short amount of time the Santa Set will be available on RAVELRY for the introductory price of $5.99 for ALL 5 SIZES!
