Instructions

  • Weighted Base Elf

Step One

First make the weighted pouch that you will put in the base of the elf.

Take your fabric and cut a circle that is about 8-10″ in diameter. With your needle and thread stitch a running stitch all the way around the circle. Pull the thread so that the sides scrunch up to make a bowl shape. Fill with Poly-Pellets. Pull thread to close and stitch to secure. Set aside.

  • Elf Girl Body

Step Two

Next you will make the elf’s body.
The body is made by working in the round in a spiral, you do not need to join rounds. Begin with a magic ring. To switch colors when you make the last stitch of the round before you start a new color start the stitch as normal but when you yarn over to pull through at the end pull through the new color and you will be ready to work the next round with the new color. When working the stripes on the top half of the body do not cut your yarn after each color change, just carry it up the inside of the body.
