Thanks so much for this pattern! I couldn’t do the weekly KAL, being overwhelmed with other stuff, so this is perfect. I see a lot of these being knit as a new holiday tradition …
He is so cute. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this pattern. Your KAL’s have been so much fun.
This is a great contest for you to enter your adorable elf!

Hello there! I’m a quilter and haven’t knitted in YEARS and then only plain hats and scarves… but you’re tiny elf is so inspiring, I just had to desert the quilting world for a while.
I was stranded yesterday with 3 elf bodies with ears, but I had no clue what i-cord knitting is! Good thing the internet is so comprehensive when it comes to crafts! I’m now happily giving these three fellows legs, arms and hat-tips so they can move into their new dwellings at christmas time!
Thanks so much for this free pattern – I didn’t know something so complicated looking could be so easy!
Cheers,
Christine
Way to cute! I am going to try to make one this year for the upcoming holiday
I love love love him. I have also made an alternate Sock Monkey version. Trying to post pictures to share with you. You KALs are great and I am working on my first sweater now.
What is final size of elf?
maybe 4 or 5 inches.
Been having problems loading the PDF for this pattern, is it possible to get it sent to me or something?
I can’t believe how easy you have made this! I’ve knitted for almost 55 years, but have never knitted on double pointed needles! I avoided all patterns using them. Thank god for youtube and watching ‘how to’ videos! After about an hour of practicing, I had it down.
It took about 4 days to finish this elf! Now, I will make 3 more, one for each grandchild! Elf on the Shelf, now has a Nana Elf!
Thank you, I can’t wait for December to come to give these to my daughters.
