Crocheter Sreeja Renjith’s Santa Claus, Christmas trees, baubles, snowmen, bunnies and more, made by her with hook and yarn, have been flying abroad, to enchanted customers. Some of them — like a female Santa — were made for a client in the US. The cost ranges from ₹250 for gaily knotted balls in red and white to ₹2,500 and more for figurines.
