I used my same notes from my second elf (on a previous project) and switched up his face to this lovely zombie green. Because let’s face it. That elf is creepy!

Eyes: I used worsted white and a tapestry needle-french knot. Then I used size 10 and made a french knot for the pupil…

Blood: I used red size ten and embroidered his bloody mouth, blood around the eyes and a wound….

I used size 10 for the straggly hair. I am LOVING this guy! This was the first thing my daughter ever liked that I made. She’s a tough critic.

my notes for the head (which everyone seems to have a rough time with:
*Round 7:* (this will be the ear round-so make sure they are spaced correctly) when it says ch 9 it really means 9 sc-makes a bit of a difference. ;)
Round 8: sc around (folding up the ears and sc in the base of the ears-this will help keep them up) putting a 2dc cluster (in pattern this is a bobble)in the middle, this is the nose, so make sure it is even between ears
Round 9: sc around putting two 5dcCL (in pattern this is a bobble) for the cheeks-I did NOT dec as I did them like the pattern says because they looked weird that way to me.
Round 10: sc around putting a dec, sc, dec, in the front of the head and one more dec in the back of the head
Round 11: same as round 10, but with 2 dec in back of head
