The spiral is the trick. It's a simple increased strip that curls into a corkscrew all on its own the moment you stop working it, and it turns a small amigurumi head into an ornament with real hanging movement. Everyone asks how it's done. It takes about twenty minutes.
Five characters in one PDF: Santa with his bobble hat, a snowman in a top hat and scarf, a reindeer with antlers, a Christmas tree with a star and beads, and an elf. Each one is a small head-and-body worked in the round with the spiral tail hanging below and a loop above.
They use very little yarn — this is the pattern for the leftovers in your basket. Which is also why it's the one people make fifteen of: teacher gifts, stocking fillers, gift-tag ornaments, and a whole tree's worth by December.
