Santa Frame Ornament

This is a frame ornament for a small facial picture.

I made the pattern a few years back, and just got around to typing it.

It is very quick to make and looks really cute on a tree.

Enjoy!

Note: You can adjust up or down a hook size, if you want a larger or smaller frame.

To mark a st, use a stitch marker, safety pin or a piece of yarn or thread.

For Facial Pic: I used a printer and plain paper.

My printed face sizes were about 1 ½” (3.8cm).

Cut a circle that fits the Santa frame (about 2” or 5cm). Use it as a template to measure and cut around the face photos.

When cutting photos, be sure to leave about a ¼ to ½” (.6 to 1.3cm) below the chin, so the face will show properly in the frame.

Head:

Rnd 1: With White: Start with a MR, Ch 2 (does not count as a st: now and throughout)

10 Dc in the ring, join with a ss to the first st. (10 dc)

Note: Pull beg yarn end to close circle, and work over the end to eliminate weaving in later.

Rnd 2: Ch 2, Dc-Inc around, with 3 Dc in last st. Join. (21 dc)

Rnd 3: Ch 1, Sc-Inc around, join to first sc and mark this joined-st. (42 sc) Do not FO.

Beard: Note: Row 4 is a short row, only worked on part of the Rnd.

Row 4: TURN to WS. Ch 5. Working in BLO:
Do not count the joined st. Sk the next 2 sts, Sc in next st.
(Ch 5, Sk next 2 sts, Sc in next st) repeat 7xs,

Ch 5, Sk 2 sts, and Ss in both lps of next st.
The last 14 sts wll not be used. (9 Lps)

Row 5: TURN to RS, and work behind the lps.

Ch 1, Sc-Dec in BLO over the 2 skipped-sts for each of the 9 lps.
Do not stitch in the used stitches for the beard, only the 2 free stitches between.

See photo 1. (9 dec)

Ss in the marked st. Ss in next unused st of Rnd 3. See photo 2.

(Remove first marker and Mark the next unstitched sc on round 3).
