Knitted elf Christmas decorations

Picture of knitted elf Christmas decorations


Yes I've started knitting Christmas decorations already!  I made these using a kit I got a few years ago with a knitting magazine. My children love their elves and loved these knitted elf Christmas decorations.

The kit


Here is the kit I got free with a Simply knitting magazine a few years ago, i'd put the kit aside and never knitted it.  It came with everything I needed to knit the knitted elf Christmas decorations except for the knitting needles. Pattern is called 'Santa's helper' by Kirstie McLeod.  Here is the kit ready to knit.

The knitted elf Christmas decorations were very quick to knit up.  I Since both my children wanted one I decided to just make the elf one sided so they could both have one. Good thing I had some spare ribbon and buttons as I'd lost the buttons out of the kit and do you think I could find them anywhere? No where to be found. I glued the felt hat, ribbon and ric rac on with a hot glue gun.  children :-) This was a perfect for an afternoon of knitting. Here is a few photo of the knitted elf Christmas decorations before I put them together.

Here are the knitted elf decorations, my children of course had to run and show their elves who are currently visiting just to say hi.
