Assembling
Fill the Body: After you finished crocheting the body of the Christmas Elf, it is necessary to fill it and close the openings. First use the openings at the arms and legs to fill the body with polyfill and then the respective limbs.
Close Openings: After you have filled the entire body with enough polyfill, it is time to close the openings. First, using a thread in Moss, sew together the 4 stitches in the crotch of the Christmas Elf.
Then close the arm and leg openings.
Nose: Embroider the nose with a Soft Apricot thread. Embroider the nose centered under the eyes. To do this, pull the thread horizontally several times from one stitch through the next, skipping one stitch. Repeat until a thick nose forms.
Eyebrows: Attach the eyebrows right and left, one stitch row above the eyes, onto the head.
Hat: Place the hat with the hair onto the head of the elf. If necessary, the hat can also be sewn on.
DONE!
