Little Ellie’s Elves just love the rush that they get when Christmas is in full swing, which for them is months before it is for us. The workshop is abuzz with familiar smells, festive music and above all else..mince pies!

This PDF includes the written instructions in US terms and step-by-step photos detailing how to make the pieces to finish your creation. When made with DK weight yarn (sample made in Stylecraft Special DK/others) and a 2.0mm hook, the finished Elf will measure around 20cm/8” tall.

The project can be made using any weighted yarn, just adjust the hook size to match your choice.

You’ll need to know how to:

• make a Magic Ring or a chain 2 equivalent
• work in a round
• single crochet
• increase/decrease
• half double crochet
• front/back loop only
• slip stitch
• bobble stitch (photo tutorial is included)

You will need the following materials:

Yarn: Stylecraft Special Dk - Acrylic - 100g/295m/323 yards

Tiffin - White 1001, Bottle 1009, Claret 1123, Dark Brown 1004, Mocha 1064 and Mushroom 1832.
