10 Free Crochet Elf Patterns

To Make This Christmas

Classic Amigurumi Elves

Five traditional elf dolls: a head, a body, pointed ears, and a tall hat. Start here if you want the elf itself to be the star.

Quick Stocking Stuffer

Mini Elf by Grace and Yarn: legs, body, and head in one piece — less sewing. Striped sweater, bib overalls, 3.5 mm hook.

Elf Gnomes: The Easy Shortcut

A body, a beard or nose, and a tall hat pulled over the eyes. Forgiving makes that look finished in simple colours. About 18 cm tall.

Flat & Wearable Elves

Elf C2C Square: a 25 x 25 block graph for a pillow or blanket. Doll Elf Hat: one piece, spiral rounds, for dolls 20–22 cm.

Polished Elf Tips

Keep one yarn weight, stuff firmly in small amounts, and pin the ears before you sew the hat on.
