Supplies:

Red, Green, Dark Green, and White
•4mm Crochet Hook
•Tapestry needle
•Scissors
•Stuffing
•10 inch Wreath
•Mesh for Wreath
Additional Information:
Difficulty: Easy
• Before we get started…
You will need a wreath. I bought a foam wreath (10 inch) from Dollar Tree. However, a wire wreath is better suited for the frilly wreath we’ll be doing. There are video tutorials online showing how to put mesh around a wire wreath, but I will show you how I did mine with a foam wreath.
You’ll also need colorful mesh to go around the wreath. I got 2 rolls from Dollar tree as well. The little bells you can also get from Dollar Tree.
• Let’s Get Started!
We will first start by making a shoe, this shoe will lead into the lead. We will then make a second leg and crochet both legs together to form the waist area. After this we will make the curly part of the shoe, the green triangles around the waist, and put the mesh around the wreath. Lastly, we will attach the elf to the wreath!

In round 1 we will make a foundation chain. This means we will make a chain, work down one side of the chain, then we turn to the other side of the chain and continue down that side. This will make a round. We are NOT turning the work and crocheting over the stitches we just made! That would be working a row.
Round 1: Ch 22 Pic 1. Dc in the 3rd Ch from the hook. Dc in the next 18 Ch Pic 2. Dc 3 times in the last Ch Pic 3. Now turn the chain to the opposite side, where we haven’t worked any double crochets yet Pic 4. Dc in the next 18 st Pic 5-6 (40)

Assembly:
Take the tail end of yarn left at the very tip of the triangle and sew it through a bell Pic 1-2. Weave this tail end of yarn back through the triangle to secure Pic 3-4. Pin the triangle to the waist, right on Round 60 Pic 5. Sew the triangle on, going through the front loops left from Round 61 Pic 6.
Leg Assembly:
IN GREEN
To make the elf look like he’s fallen in the wreath, we need to bend his leg slightly. Here is how we do that!
Insert needle with green yarn into the 5th white stripe on the right leg, and pull needle out a stitch to the left Pic 1. Reinsert needle on the 3rd right stripe, lining up to where you’d previously pulled in and out the needle Pic 2. Reinsert needle on the 5th white stripe, next to where you previously had sewed. Pull the needle out about 2 stitches to the left Pic 3. Reinsert needle into the 3rd stripe, next to where you previously had sewed. Pull the needle out about 2 stitches to the left Pic 4. Repeat this process until you’ve sewed the back of the leg. Pull both tail ends of yarn firmly at the same time to tighten the leg Pic 5-6. Tie the ends of yarn into firm knots and weave in to hide.
Wreath Assembly:
If you know how to make your own wreath, feel free to do so! However, this was my first wreath ever and I just made do with the supplies I had.
Take a wreath (I am using a foam wreath from Dollar Tree, they also have wire wreaths that are better suited for making frilly wreaths like this. I just didn’t know at the time that a foam wreath is more for flowers). Now take mesh and bunch it up at the very tip and place it on the wreath Pic 3. Place a pin to secure this mesh, try to make sure the pin goes through all layers of the mesh Pic 4.
Grab a section of the mesh and bring it to close to the previous mesh you pinned, it should make what looks like a loop Pic 5-6. Bunch this area up close to the wreath Pic 7, and place a pin going through all layers of the mesh Pic 8-9. Repeat this process all around. I did red mesh first and closer to the center, then repeated the same process with green mesh at the outside of the wreath.
Attaching Elf to Wreath:
We will attach the elf to the wreath by tying him to it. This secures it really well and you won’t see the yarn as long as you use a color that matches your wreath’s mesh.
Do these steps only on the left and right side of the elf. You can also do these steps for the top of the elf if you need to secure it more.
Take a 8″ piece of yarn and place it on a needle Pic 1. Bring this yarn through the wreath as shown Pic 2. Insert the needle through the elf and pull the needle out about 4 stitches to the left Pic 3. This yarn through now be at the top of the wreath. Grab both tail ends of yarn and pull them very firmly so the elf is close to the wreath Pic 4. Tie these tail ends of yarn firmly together a few times and cut the excess yarn Pic 5-6.
Repeat this a total of 2 times on the left and right side of the elf, as well as once at the top of the elf.
