Pattern: How to crochet a No-sew Crochet Elf?
Let’s start – No-sew Crochet Elf
The body – No-sew Crochet Elf
- The Elf is worked in continuous rounds (as a spiral). Use a stitch marker if needed.
- Remember to stuff as you crochet.
With a 2.75 mm crochet and red yarn (or with a bigger hook of your choice):
-
- Round 1: start 6 sc in a magic ring. (6) – NB: if you work with plush yarn: ch2; make 6 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. (6)
- Round 2: [6 inc]. (12)
- Round 3: [1 inc in the next st, 1 sc]x6. (18)
Change for the black yarn:
-
- Round 4: working in the back loop only (BLO): [1 sc in all st]. (18)
Change for the green yarn:
-
- Round 5: working in the back loop only (BLO): [1 sc in all st]. (18)
- Round 6: [1 sc in all st]. (18)
Change for the pink yarn:
- Rounds 7-9: [1 sc in all st]. (18)
Change for the red yarn:
- Round 10: [1 sc in all st]. (18)
Place the eyes between Rounds 8 and 9, spaced by 2 st, centered at the front of the head.
With your tapestry needle and the black cotton thread, make a mouth between Rounds 7 and 8.
Change for the green yarn:
- Round 11: working in back loops only (BLO): [1 sc in all st]. (18)
- Round 12: Round 12 may require a bit of customization based on your project. In this round, you will work 4 st in the back loops only. The side of the hat will then be attached to the 4 unworked front loops only. Ensure these unworked front loops align with the side of the head, as illustrated below. Depending on your previous yarn attachment method, you might need to add or move the single crochet before working these front loops exclusively. [1 sc in the next st, (working in the back loops only: 1 sc in the next 4 st), 6 dec, 1 sc in the last st]. (12)
Fill the body with polyfill.
- Round 13: [6 dec]. (6)
Cut the yarn, close the body, and fasten off.
Let’s now work on the side of the hat. Join the green yarn in the first unworked front loop only (see pictures below).
- Row 1: Starting in the same st where you join: 1 sc, 1 sc in the next 3 st. (4)
- Row 2: ch1, turn: 2 dec. (2)
- Row 3: ch1, turn: 1 dec. (1)
Cut the yarn, and fasten off. Add a little jingle bell at the top of the hat.
The belt: with your tapestry needle and the yellow yarn, make a little yellow stitch over 2 st between Rounds 4 and 5.
Congratulations on crafting the cutest Elf! I’m looking forward to seeing your wonderful creations.
