Elves…little playful creatures that are part of the Nordic Christmas tradition. They are known for their mischievous behavior, especially in the days leading up to Christmas, when they make lots of fun and trouble.
The sweater is worked top down and with raglan sleeves. First you knit back and forth in rib until the neckline is shaped. Then you continue working in the round - first in rib, and then in stockinette stitch with the elf motif. When the raglan is finished, the body and sleeves are separated, and the single pieces are worked in the round.
