Crochet Elf Pattern

Find here an easy crochet pattern to make a little Elf

Hi everyone! You will find on this page a crochet Elf pattern. It is a new pattern to my Christmas Mini figure collection. This crochet doll collection is adorable and we will want to make them all. Lucky for you, they are easy and small crochet patterns! You will be able to make them all really quickly! You can also make Santa, a Gingerbread Man, and a Gingerbread girl.

The body is made in one part, so if you don’t like sewing many parts, it is the perfect crochet project for you. You will only have to sew the arms and the hair!

Don’t forget to join my facebook group, you can ask your questions, and share your finished projects. I will regularly ask you what pattern you would like to see next (or you can even suggest something even if I am not asking!).

I hope you will enjoy and understand the pattern. If you have any questions, feel free to write to me, I will try my best to help you. And I would love to see your work!
