Tinsel the Elf

Note to Customers:

Please be aware that all of my patterns use the KLL (knit left loop) or KRL (knit right loop) increase methods.

These are nearly invisible increases that help maintain a super clean look of the fabric.

Tinsel is a cheerful little elf pattern brought to life on two needles. With his holiday charm, he’s the perfect handmade touch for your Christmas décor or a thoughtful gift to spread festive cheer.

KNITTING GAUGE:

24 sts and 28 rows to 10 x 10 cm = 4” x 4” in stocking stitch (knit row on right side, purl row on wrong side) and 2.5 mm needles.

Gauge is not critical for this project. Work tight enough to make sure the stuffing would not show through the stitches.
