This Happy Elf makes me happy, too!
His face is just so sweet and cute.
This extremely low sew pattern will delight everyone!
You only sew on the hat and ears. The rest is surface crochet, pieces added in the round, crocheting on front loops and stitching that cute face.
Shelf sitter style so you can sit him as shown or you can put him on the edge of your shelf and his legs will dangle.
I recommend that you have intermediate plus crochet skills for this one.
It is definitely not beginner friendly.
I used Big Twist Posh with a 5.5 mm hook and he is about 14” tall sitting, not including the pompom.

I used the color Bokchoy but I think an elf can be any color!

You will need a little fur pompom or make a pompom with yarn.

I used 28 mm safety eyes.

You will need either a thicker weight of white or white fur yarn for the trimmings.

I used Sweet Snuggles Lite by Loops and Threads.
All of my patterns are tested on Instagram.
