This jolly set of festive clothes will make Christmas morning feel extra special for Betsy and Ben!

Inside, you’ll find a playful one-piece Elf suit, knitted from the top down—so it’s lovely and simple to make.

There’s also a pair of shorts and a skirt, each with sweet cross-back braces and button details—perfect for mixing and matching outfits.

Of course, no Elf is complete without a cute hat sporting a cheerful pompom!

The shaping and seaming are straightforward, so you’ll find these a joy to knit, whether you’re a seasoned maker or just getting started.

All the clothes are knitted flat from the top down. You’ll just need stitch holders for the sleeves, which you knit after finishing the legs of the Elf suit—nothing too fiddly, I promise!

Just a little note: this pattern is for the clothes only—the Betsy and Ben doll knitting pattern is available separately if you need it.

Suitable for intermediate or confident beginners.
