Baby Elf Ernie is a cheeky little chappie who has got his first pair of baby teeth and is eagerly awaiting his first ever Christmas…..

He’s the baby brother of Cheeky Elf Holly and Gizza Kiss Elf Mistletoe, and his cheeky toothy smile makes him just as adorable as they are.

He’s knitted flat on straight needles and has been such a fun project to do.

I’ve used some short rows to shape his shoes and legs and for that reason I have recommended this pattern is for intermediate knitters, although I do think he’s a pretty easy pattern to follow otherwise.

I hope you’ll enjoy knitting him as much as I have.
