Abbreviations:
sc = single crochet
inc = increase (2 sc in one stitch)
dec = decrease (skip one stitch)
ch = chain

Cap and body of the Elf
Make a magic ring, leaving a long tail (take it outside through the hole). We’ll use this tail to cirl the cap.

22 rounds of the cap are crocheted IN BACK LOOPS only. Stuff the elf as you go, but make him a bit flat as a cushion 🙂

Alternate the colors of stripes as you wish. The main color begins from the Round 42. It means that Rounds 1-41 are crocheted in stripes, and then crochet in main color.

If you want to have stripes as in the picture, then crochet in the following way: Rnd 1 – orange, Rnd 2-3 – lilac (this color is the main one), Rnd 4-5 – yellow. Then the pattern is repeated. In this case you’ll have the tip of the cap (Rnd 41) orange, and Rnd 42 will be lilac.
