Description

The Design

“In 2 gauges for 2 sizes.”

These little handmade pals, created by Jennifer Evans, are perfect on the holiday mantelpiece, tree, or packages. But they’ll celebrate any season cheerfully! Originally designed for fingering-weight yarn (like Rowan Fine Tweed), we love them just as much a bit bigger in DK-weight yarn (like Rowan Tweed). Once we started knitting them, we just couldn’t stop!

With elves, it s certainly true that the more you make, the merrier! They’ll naturally all turn out a little different, but you can make them even more various: Taller. Shorter. Plumper. Thinner. All green for St. Paddy’s day. All pink for your Valentine. All white for a snowman with a smart black hat and coal buttons. Once you’ve got the hang of it, the only limit is your imagination. Knit up a whole neighborhood of wee elves!

GAUGE
Tiny wee elf: 28–32 sts = 4 10cm in stockinette stitch in the round; a dense fabric keeps stuffing from showing through.

KNITTER S NOTES

No one elf is like another! And each elf seems to reveal a unique personality once the top knot is tied.

We made our wee elves in tweedy wool but you can use any yarn you like. Change colors at the ‘waist’ for mismatched ‘pants’ and ‘jacket’. Or use self-striping yarn for the element of surprise.
