Mr. Santa Claus doll pattern

[Ellamae Parker]

I am having problems as the crochet directions are not very clear.  Has anyone done this one before. Thanks

Amigurumi patterns are often written in a shorthand version of the standards for crochet patterns. They assume you have created amigurumi before. 

Here's a link for creating amigurumi that's very complete. There's lots of others with "amigurumi tips", too.
