Santa Pants Garden Flag...

I whipped up this Garden Stake flag today for my bare stake beside my driveway -- Santa Pants Flag. It measures 12 1/2" wide x 18 1/2" long (from top of tab to bottom of boot).

I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn and a 6.0mm hook.  It only took a couple hours from start to finish....

Special Note:  you could omit the green yarn and just work one side of each leg at a time from Rows 12 on.  I chose to add the green to make the shape of a Christmas tree between the pants legs, a little irony, I guess...lol!!!!
