Hey lovelies, how are you doing? Well yesterday we went to our local Christmas Tree switch on and as there’s now less than 6 weeks before the big day, I’ll confess that my thoughts are now turned towards the festive season.
With that in mind let me introduce you to Razzle and Dazzle – two cheeky little elves who have hopped straight out of the pages of Crochet Now Issue 127. With twinkling eyes and vibrant colourful outfits, they’re the perfect festive companions to add to your handmade décor or to surprise someone special this season.
Pin for later:
Meet the Elves
Razzle (in the blue) is the daring dreamer, always leaping from one snow-covered ledge to the next, while Dazzle (in the purple) is the clever tinkerer who loves to hide surprise candy canes and sparkly baubles around the room. Together they bring mischief, magic and merriment wherever they go – and now you can crochet them for your own festive adventures.
For both of my elves I used Ricorumi DK, one of my all-time favourite yarns. This 100% cotton yarn comes in handy 25g balls (57.5m) and is available in a wide range of options. I also used some Ricorumi Twinkly Twinkly which is also cotton yarn but includes a glittering thread because you’ve got to have a bit of sparkle at Christmas I feel.

The only other things you will need to complete your duo is a 3.25mm hook, some toy stuffing, 2 pairs of 6mm black safety eyes, some stitch markers, a tapestry needle and some blusher (optional)
These elves would make wonderful gifts for children (or big kids!) and could be a delightful addition to festive décor – whether perched on a mantel or tucked into a stocking. They also make a joyful “crochet duo” project: you can change colours, mix and match accessories, and give each elf their own personality.
