LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫

For this pattern you will need the following

MATERIALS
Cotton yarn:
The little elf was crocheted with Hobbii.de Rainbow
Cotton 8/4. You can find the color codes here. Size
approximately 14 cm. Of course, you can also use different

50 g.

Hook: Size 2.2 mm was used here.

A FEW HINTS & TIPS BEFORE WE START

Unless otherwise indicated, crochet in spiral rounds. Crochet

x-stiches.

Always crochet in the beginning thread, so that nothing

comes loose later, even after frequent cuddling.

You can of course also crochet the elf with chenille yarn.
If you don't succeed in making the magic ring with chenille
yarn right away, just crochet two chains and stitch into the
second chain from the hook and crochet your required
number of stitches into this chain.
If you crochet with chenille yarn, I recommend that you
always sew the individual pieces on with cotton.

There are several ways to make a neat color change. Either

end the round with a sl st instead of the last single crochet
and restart the new color in the next stitch or cast off the
last stitch of the first color with the new color.

In some parts of the pattern, it may be necessary to move

the beginning of the round to position the body parts in the
right place. To do this, simply crochet a few stitches further
or unravel some from the previous round or move your
stitch marker accordingly.

Securing the individual parts:

Before you sew on the individual parts, I ALWAYS
recommend attaching them with pins, toothpicks or
wooden skewers. This will ensure that the body parts are
sewn on where they belong.

Embroidering eye details:

To make the embroidery of your eyes look more delicate, I
recommend splitting the cotton thread in half for
embroidery. If you are crocheting with chenille, you can
leave the yarn at its normal thickness.

One last tip regarding filling with fiberfill. The proportions

will come out best if you make sure that you fill them as they
should look in reality.
So thicker areas can have a little more filling and thinner
areas a little less.
Use either your scissors or a chopstick for stuffing.

But now, get your hook! We will start!
