    About

    I am sharing a table at a Christmas fair in December. Hollyberry and Mistletoe will be joining my collection of knitted toys and any profit I make on the sale will be passed on to my favourite charity.

    Yarns

    • material-yarn
      Rowan pure wool superwash dk - Chalk (101 ✕ 1 ball

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 3.00mm (US 2.5) 33cm

    Accessories

    • Stuffing
    • Tapestry Needle
    Other : I used heart shaped beads for the jacket buttons, tiny beads for the gloves and gold bells for the boots and hat. I also used 12mm sew in cats eyes. Pipe cleaners are used for the arms and legs and I added some lead weight inside the body.

    Measurements

    One size only: 9 inches high seated

    Notes: I didn't make any adjustments and exactly followed the pattern instructions.

        There is Bernard the Elf by Zoe Halstead, which is a free download here: http://www.letsknit.co.uk/free-knitting-patterns/bernard-the-elf

        He's a bit bigger than 5 inches, but a very straightforward pattern. I'm on my fourth elf, as friends keep requesting them.
