Elf Sweaters – Free Pattern!

I thought for sure I had posted about this pattern before, but it looks like I may not have. Even if I have, it’s been years since I first put it up, and I’ve given the document a fresh branding makeover for 2025 so I’ll post it again. If you are someone who likes to dress up your visiting house elf, ’tis the season for knitting some tiny sweaters. I know there are tons of patterns for hand knitted elf sweaters out there, but this one is “designed” (I use the term loosely here!) for a standard gauge 4.5mm (or 5mm) knitting machine with ribber. It’s four rectangles, so if you can knit a rectangle, you can definitely knit this!

If you would like to try your hand at it, this is a freebie pattern available from my Ravelry page, or on my own shop website here. You may not have known I had a shop, and that was deliberate, but now that I’ve got a cart without product limits, I can keep all my freebies and paid things in one place. You do have to either have a Ravelry account or put in a bit of your info to download the PDF from my shop, but a fake address works just fine to check out on my site if you don’t want to sign up for Ravelry.

You may also have noticed a couple of changes to this site, namely there are ads appearing at the top. I hope they are not too invasive, but if you discover that it is affecting your ability to read the page, please let me know. I know monetization isn’t everyone’s favourite, but hopefully it doesn’t get in the way of anything.

Now go forth and knit elf-sized sweaters!

Cheers,
Heather
