Jo-Jo is a truly special little Elf, here to bring extra magic to Christmas Eve!

When little ones are too excited to sleep, that’s when Jo-Jo appears—his sweet face and cuddly body make him the perfect bedtime friend to snuggle and gently soothe children into dreamland.

His big elf ears help him listen out for excited voices, so he always knows just where to visit!

Jo-Jo’s pointy elf hat is sewn on safely (no losing it in the duvet!), and his bright red collar, cuffs, and boots finish off his festive look.

He’s a delight to knit, with simple shaping throughout: his head, body, and legs are worked flat in one piece, and his arms, hat, and collar are knitted and sewn on separately.

You’ll find it easy to give him a sweet face too—I share my favourite way to add eyes, no embroidery skills needed!

Jo-Jo is a lovely cuddly 36cm/ 14” tall- big enough to snuggle in bed without getting lost.
