The Bitsy elves are ready to help on Christmas Eve.
Although they are only small, Bitsy Elves work hard, filling lots of stockings for children to enjoy, early on Christmas morning.
The stocking is just big enough to contain a little gift-or maybe a candy a cane?
These elves are quick and easy to make. They are an ideal last-minute Christmas decoration or gift.
Their body and heads are knitted in one piece and after seaming and stuffing the legs are created by sewing a seam through from front to back to divide the legs. Their arms are knitted separately and are sewn on when making up these cute little characters.
This pattern is suitable for confident beginners- All the doll and accessory pieces are knitted flat and use basic shaping.
Picking up stitches and yarn overs are used in the skirt section
The Elves hats are knitted flat and shaped with basic decreases
The Christmas stocking is knitted flat with a few, very simple
short rows to shape the heel. It is then seamed down the back and under the foot.
