Crochet Elf Apron

September 17, 2019

The Elf Apron is the 4th and final design of my Kids Crochet Christmas Apron series! Each of the four patterns are basically the same but when you change the colors and a few embellishments you have a whole new outfit! I added pockets to this one so feel free to take the pocket pattern and it to any of the aprons I’ve already posted. Even though I don’t have plans on making another apron, I do love the idea of making a Grinch or Reindeer version! Hmmm… maybe I will have to make a few more 🙂

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value yarn in Lush Green, Berry Red, and Black (one skein of each). You will need a bit of Gray for the buckle. Shop yarn at Yarnspirations.com!
– Size H Crochet Hook

– Tapestry Needle
– 2 black buttons (optional)

Size: Apron is approximately 17 inches wide and 17 inches tall (not including the neck strap)

I made this to fit children but it would be easy to add more rows to make it taller or add more chains to your starting chain to make it wider.

Apron Pattern:
with red
Chain 61, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn
Row 2-3: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
add in green yarn and fasten off red yarn
Row 4-28: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Row 29: SC decrease, SC in next 56, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 30: SC Decrease, SC in next 54, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 31: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (56 SC)
Row 32: SC Decrease, SC in next 52, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 33: SC Decrease, SC in next 50, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 34: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (52 SC)
Row 35: SC Decrease, SC in next 48, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 36: SC Decrease, SC in next 46, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 37: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (48 SC)
Row 38: SC Decrease, SC in next 44, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 39: SC Decrease, SC in next 42, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 40: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (44 SC)
Row 41: SC Decrease, SC in next 40, SC Decrease over last two, chain 1, turn
Row 42: SC Decrease, SC in next 38, SC Decrease over last two, fasten off and weave in ends
with black yarn
Row 43: Chain 50 then attach to top edge of apron and SC 40 stitches, chain 51, turn
Row 44-45: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (140 SC)
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Now lets make the top of the apron.
Count 57 stitches in from the apron tie, in next stitch join in green yarn and chain 1
Row 46: SC along 26 stitches (leave remaining stitches unworked), chain 1, turn
Row 47-60: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Fasten off green yarn and join in red for the last 3 rows
Row 61-63: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Neck Strap:
Note: If you make your starting chain fairly tight then it will naturally curve! 
with red yarn, chain 51, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain (50 SC)
Row 2-3: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (50 SC)
Fasten off and use loose ends to stitch the strap ends to the top edges of the apron.

Buckle:
With gray yarn
Magic Ring, Chain 1 and make 4 SC, SC + Chain 2 + SC in next (this makes a corner), 4 SC, SC + Chain 2 + SC, 4 SC, SC + Chain 2 + SC, 4 SC, SC + Chain 2 + SC, join, don’t pull tight so it leaves an opening.
Sew buckle onto middle strap.

Pockets (make 2):
With red yarn
Chain 11, SC in second chain from hook and rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn (10 SC)
Row 2-9: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Fasten off leaving a long tail to sew 3 sides of pocket onto bottom of apron. Leave top of the pocket open!
