This Happy Elf makes me happy, too!
His face is just so sweet and cute.
This extremely low sew pattern will delight everyone!
You only sew on the hat and ears. The rest is surface crochet, pieces added in the round, crocheting on front loops and stitching that cute face.
Shelf sitter style so you can sit him as shown or you can put him on the edge of your shelf and his legs will dangle.
I recommend that you have intermediate plus crochet skills for this one.
It is definitely not beginner friendly.
