Today I’ll share how to crochet your own Christmas elf doll with my free pattern. Whether it’s destined to be a fun plushie or cute yule ornament!

Your crocheted holiday elf will happily work as an ornament or decoration, or as a cute plushie for older kids.

A couple of the yarns I used for my doll are frustratingly hard to get hold of in the US, so I’ve put a very close match suggestion in the list for you. It’ll work up very similarly.
