Nisse/ Elf

I love Christmas, who doesn't :-)

So I got the idea to this nisse, or elf. 

It's quite simple. 

I just croched a cone and changed color for the hat, face and body. 

Start with a magic circle. 

Round 1: 3 sc into the circle. 

Round 2: 2 sc in every st.

Now increase by 2 st in every round until the hat is the desired size. 

Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round. 

Change color and do a couple of rounds in white. Keep increasing by 2 st every round. 

Change color again to make the face and again to make the body. Still increasing by 2 every round. Keep going until the body is the desired size. Fasten of and cut the yarn. 

Now make a circle for the bottom. 

Make a magic circle 

Round 1: 6 sc into the circle 

Round 2: 2 sc in every st

Now increase by 6 every round. 

(Round 3: 1 sc in first st 2 sc in next st 6 times. Round 4: 1 sc in first 2 st 2 sc in next st 6 times and so on)

Until the circle is big enough to cover the bottom of the cone. Leave a long tail. 

Weave in all ends but the one on the circle. Stuff the cone and stitch the circle to the cone using a tapestry needle. 

Make a mouth with black yarn. Eyes and buttons are made out of felt and glued on. 

Enjoy :-)
