Who doesn’t love a surprise? Inspired by the naughty elves that have become so popular at Christmas, I wanted to design a sweater with a little surprise. Imagine your little persons face when they reach inside the pocket and find this mischievous little Elf?

Elf approx. 25cm tall

Sized to fit chest: 53 (56:61:65.5: 69: 73.5) cm 20.75 (22: 24: 25.75: 27.25: 29) in

Needles:
Circulars 3.25mm (40cm) & 4mm (60cm)
DPN’s 3.25mm (optional for start of neck and small circumference parts)

Also needed:
Darning needle
Stitch markers
Scrap yarn or stitch holders
Toy stuffing
Two small white buttons
Cream felt
Gold embroider thread
Red pencil

Tension:
Yarn used knits as DK to this tension:
22 sts and 30 rows to measure 10 x 10cm (4 x 4in) over st st using 4mm needles.
To save time, take time to check gauge.

Pattern Notes:
This raglan sweater is worked from the top down, seamless in the round.
If giving the Elf to small child make sure you securely sew on all small pieces and embroider on buttons, rather than use buttons.
