Crochet pattern — "Christmas Gnome"

A pattern for the most adorable little Scandinavian Christmas gnome — perfect in any festive home, both in the living room and on the children's shelf.

He pairs perfectly with the other Christmas Friends patterns — find more under Christmas.

Info:

Generally for my patterns, the hook size can be changed to fit your own gauge.
When using a different hook size than specified, there may be size variations compared to my figures, but this is of little importance as long as you are consistent in your choices.

Materials:

• Crochet hook 3.0 and 2.5, or according to your own gauge
• Cotton yarn 8/4, 170 m per 50 g
  Red = approx. 14.3 g
  Nude = approx. 1.5 g
  White = approx. 1 g
• Safety eyes, 8 mm
• Stuffing = 12.5 g
• Granules in nylon stocking = 20 g (alternative: a laminated sheet or cut plastic lid in the base + extra stuffing)
• Versa Color stamp ink — No. 25 Cardinal + brush (alternative: rouge)
• Needle
• Scissors

I would love to see your finished results when you have used one of my designs.
There is always one or more hashtags in my patterns — if you use them and tag me in the pictures, I get a chance to see and possibly share your crochet work.

It is always possible to send me pictures and messages on Facebook or Instagram.
