Say hello to the elves. These elves love playing in the forest, but when it’s time to help Father Christmas with all of his Christmas planning they will be right there! Both the girl and the boy elf dolls are included in this pattern, as are the autumn extras for the autumn elves. These would make great seasonal decorations or toys.

This is an original amigurumi crochet pattern designed by me (Smiley Crochet Things) to make two elf dolls (a boy and a girl). The pattern includes detailed step by step instructions and pictures.

Size (using suggested materials): 20cm (8 inches) tall and 9cm (3.5 inches) wide each.

Intermediate pattern - a little crochet knowledge is necessary although only basic stitches are required (chain stitch, single crochet, slip stitch, double crochet and half double crochet are used within this pattern), more complicated stitches used within this pattern are described in detail. This pattern uses the amigurumi method of working in spirals.

The body of this pattern is worked as one piece from the toes to the shoulders, so no need for too much tedious hand sewing! The girl elf is wearing a dress and has a leaf crown, the boy elf is wearing dungarees with options for a Christmas hat or an acorn hat.

Materials:

• dk/light worsted (8ply) yarn in the required colours (yarns used for picture were Paintbox yarns cotton DK, 100% cotton yarn)
• 2.5mm crochet hook
• 6mm black safety eyes
• Polyester toy stuffing

Any yarn can be used with an appropriate sized hook, although other weights of yarn will affect the size of the finished item. No required tension, as long as it is worked fairly tightly.

Please always check materials and current safety standards before giving to a small child.
