Ginger and Snap Elves measure 10 inches/26cm from head to toe. They are knitted flat, feet, legs, and body in one piece, head, arms, and ears are knitted separately and attached. I have included a step by step making up guide to help you with lots of photos, hints, and tips. They are actually the same size as the Tree Fairy I published last year and make a lovely matching pair for your Christmas Tree or sit nicely on a shelf as a decoration. They are very flexible if you would like to use them to pose for Christmas elf tricks to entertain your children or grandchildren.

They are knitted in double knit yarn, you could use Aran/worsted weight, but you will need to increase the needle size to 3.5mm throughout, including the outfits.

You will also need toy stuffing and 9mm toy safety eyes. 2 small buttons and any festive adornments.
