Tinsel the Elf
Note to Customers:
Please be aware that all of my patterns use the KLL (knit left loop) or KRL (knit right loop) increase methods.
These are nearly invisible increases that help maintain a super clean look of the fabric.
Tinsel is a cheerful little elf pattern brought to life on two needles. With his holiday charm, he’s the perfect handmade touch for your Christmas décor or a thoughtful gift to spread festive cheer.
