Elmo!

Bring a little joy and nostalgia to your crochet hook with this adorable Elmo crochet pattern! Perfect for Sesame Street fans and collectors, this Signature Fat Lady Crochet design captures everyone’s favorite red monster in classic handmade style.

This is a PDF crochet pattern, not a finished toy. Written in clear, easy-to-follow instructions, it’s designed for experienced crocheters who love shaping and detail work.

🧶 Materials Needed

• 100 grams size 3 DK yarn in Red
• 15 grams each size 3 DK yarn in Orange and White
• Scrap amount of size 3 DK yarn in Black
• Crochet hook: 3.00 mm
• Yarn needle
• Fiber fill stuffing
• Stitch marker
• 2 small black buttons (optional – only if piece is intended for people over 3 years of age)

✂️ Pattern Details

• Elmo’s body and head are worked in one piece for a smooth, seamless look.
• Worked in continuous rounds from the bottom up — do not join unless instructed. Keep a stitch marker handy to mark the first stitch of each round.
• Legs, arms, nose, and eyes are worked separately and sewn on.
• Firm but even stuffing keeps your Elmo huggable without showing filler through stitches.
• The finished piece measures approximately 9 inches tall.
• For safety: embroider the pupils instead of using buttons if the finished piece is intended for children under 3.

⭐ Pattern Skill Level

Intermediate to experienced.
You should be comfortable with working in the round, sewing pieces together, and maintaining consistent tension for shaping.
