Elf Ornament Crochet Pattern

---

Day 9 of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas is a little elf ornament crochet pattern. I wanted to do a different shape for this one and I love how it turned out.

The pattern is crocheted all in one piece from the top down. I kept the details very minimal and the addition of the little bell finishes him off nicely. I can see this guy in a whole range of colours. What colour will you make?

MATERIALS

(Contains Affiliate Links)

• DK Weight Yarn in green, skin colour, black and a small amount of yellow (I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in Slate Green, Light Caramel, Pure Black and Mustard Yellow)
• 2.5mm crochet hook
• Polyester fibrefill
• Black embroidery floss
• Optional: 1cm gold bell
• Yarn/twine for hanging
• Stitch marker, yarn needle, scissors

ABBREVIATIONS

• sc – single crochet
• inc – increase
• dec – decrease
• invdec – invisible decrease
• st/s – stitch/es
• […] – repeat the instructions in brackets
• (…) – indicates stitch count at end of round

NOTES

The pattern is written using US terminology and measures approximately 3″ (7.5cm) tall not including the bell, when using the materials listed.

Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.
