Santa Claus Doily

How adorable is this little Santa doily?



It was posted in a group I'm in by someone looking for a pattern.  I looked for it.  Others did as well.  No luck :(  But the I ran across some charts that were supposed to be for it.  Upon study and comparison, they were close, but not quite right.  So I took it upon myself to write up a pattern for it.
