Crochet pattern Amigurumi Christmas doll Daniel, the Christmas Elf / Gnome

This is a PDF toy crocheting pattern - NOT the finished crocheted doll in the photos!

Please meet Daniel, the Christmas Elf!

In a quiet little workshop, there lived a kind-hearted Christmas elf named Daniel. Every night, when the house was still, Daniel would hop off the shelf where he sat all day, gently tidying the stockings, adjusting the tree lights, and making everything feel a bit more magical. He wasn’t loud or mischievous—just a silent helper, spreading warmth wherever he went.

On Christmas morning, the children always woke to a home that felt a little cozier, though they never knew why. But Daniel did, and that was all that mattered to him. His joy came from quietly making the holiday season a bit brighter for everyone.

The pattern is easy to follow with step-by-step detailed instructions accompanied by plenty of photos. (It is 17 pages long with plenty of photos illustrating the process).
