This little Elf is one of four Christmas-themed patterns which I have had a lot of fun making. It is intended to be made by a fairly experienced knitter who is used to using DPNs, as the small size makes it unsuitable for circular needles. The three-page pattern might seem a bit complex to start with, but once you get going each little Santa's Elf takes about an hour to make, using just a few oddments of yarn which you probably already have in your stash, and a very small amount of toy stuffing.
