This free crochet nutcracker pattern makes a cute chibi amigurumi soldier that stands on its own black boots and gives a little salute. The nutcracker doll wears a tall black shako with gold bands, a star badge and a red pom-pom, a round red jacket with gold buttons and epaulettes, and a fluffy white moustache under a rosy nose. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, has safety eyes and embroidered brows and buttons, and stands about 18.5 cm (7 in) tall. Follow the row-by-row pattern with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see every piece - a classic Christmas decoration to make as a gift.
