Pom pom: With only the fun fur, wrap the yarn
around your 3 middle fingers,
about 15 times. Cut a piece of white yarn about 10
inches long,
then slip it through the loops and tie securely.
Do not cut loops, fluff it out and attach to the top of the hat.
Gently stuff the hat, if you want it to stand up.
Hair: With Brown yarn, Wrap yarn around your 3
middle fingers 10 times,
Cut a 12 in piece of yarn and slip through the loops
and tie securely.
Will look like a loose pompom, do not cut the loops.
Attach
the loops to the top of the Elf head with the ties,
Them put them to the front like bangs.
Place the hat on top of the elf head and sew it on using
white yarn. Lastly with a piece of red yarn, embroider a smile on the face of the Elf.
Last year I made the Green Elf, and
this year I made the Elf Red.
They are so fun to make.
I am thinking of maybe one in Ice Blue
would look cute.
