Finish off, sew the ends together to close the gap with the tapestry needle.
Shape the stuffed body by pressing firmly on its sides to resemble the shape you are trying to achieve. Stuffed amigurumi shapes are like a rubbery piece of clay that can actually be shaped quite a bit! Always take advantage of that fact.

Optional: Pinch the hat with your thump and index and stitch it a couple of times to get the slouchy hat look
Cut several pieces of the white yarn yarn to be a little more than double the length you want the Santa's hair and beard to be (you can give Santa a haircut later so don't worry if it was too long as the start).
Fold the string of yarn on itself by half. Attach the yarn string by making a slip stitch with it on the head. If you prefer a video instruction check out this tutorial.
Here is a top view of how I attached the hair. The bold spot will be covered with the hat so no need to attach hair to it. I just went around the head and attached one row of hair.
