Assembly:
1- Using contrasting colour yarn, stitch the three curls onto the middle of the front panel between rows 19 and 20. When laying flat, the curls should extend down below the hairline by 4 or 5 rows. Weave ends.
2- Insert 9mm safety eyes into the front panel between rows 7 and 8 with approximately 9 or 10 sts between them.
3- With a tapestry needle and colour “Old Rose”, stitch a nose between the eyes at row 6.
4- With black crochet thread or fine weight yarn, stitch a mouth at row 4 by stitching diagonally across two stitches.
5- With black crochet thread or fine weight yarn, stitch eyebrows above each eye by stitching diagonally over rows 10-12.
6- Add rosy cheeks if desired using pink yarn, or apply blush/pastel chalk.
7- Place both panels together, matching up all rows and with the front facing you. Starting near the top on the left side, begin attaching the panels together by inserting your hook through both panels and single crocheting around the outside edge of the panels starting in contrasting colour. Switch to main colour when you reach the skin. Crochet around, switching back to contrasting colour for the hair when needed. When only the top remains open, stuff firmly. Continue crocheting around and close with an invisible join. Weave ends.
8- Stitch ears to either side of the face at rows 6-10 (i.e. just below where the hair starts). Weave ends.
9- Place hat on elf and adjust curls so that they curl up over the brim of the hat. Stitch hat in place in a few places around (or pin in place if you don’t want to permanently attach the hat).
10- Attach a hanging loop to the top of the hat.
You’re done!
