First of all, thank you so much for wanting to make this Valentine gnome, I hope that you
will enjoy recreating him as much as I loved designing him for you! I am more than happy

 PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS: This pattern is written using American terminology and is
worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. If gnome is made using the
materials described, he will be 23-24cm tall from the top of his hat to the base of his body.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy

Materials.

1. Basic Yarns –Alize cotton gold, 100g/ 330m, (55% cotton, 45%acrylic) red, grey,
2
milk, beige.
2. Yarn for beard- any acrylic white yarn

3. Crochet hook 2.5 mm

4. Fibrefill / toy stuffing

5. Stitch markers, darning needles

6. cartboard for body

7. pet Brush

8. fabric glue

9. wire for top of hat

ABBREVATIONS: ch = chain | dc = double crochet | dc-inc = double crochet increase

| dec = decrease | hdc = half double crochet | hdc-inc = half double crochet increase |
inc = increase | rnd = round | sc = single crochet | sk = skip | sl = slip stitch | st = stitch

A VERY QUICK GUIDE TO THE CROCHET STITCHES USED IN THIS PATTERN:

1. Chain (ch): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through loop on hook.

2. Double crochet (dc): Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there
should be 3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through both loops left on hook (there
should be 2 loops left on hook), yarn over, pull loop through remaining loop on hook.

3. Double crochet increase (dc-inc): Work two double crochets into the same stitch. 4.
Decrease (dec): I prefer to use the “invisible” decrease. For this, insert hook into front
loop of first stitch (from the front and under). Repeat into front loop of next stitch. Yarn
 over, pull loop through 2 loops on hook, yarn over and pull loop through final 2 loops
on hook.

5. Half double crochet (hdc): Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch
(there should be 3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through all three loops on the
hook.

6. Half double crochet increase (hdc-inc): Work two half double crochets into the same
stitch.
3 7. Increase (inc): Work two single crochets into the same stitch.

8. Skip (sk): Skip the next stitch, or the number of stitches specificed in the pattern. 9.
Magic ring: Wrap yarn around fingers to form a loop. Insert hook through middle of
loop. Pull working end of yarn through ring and chain the required number of stitches
through. Pull the yarn ends to close the loop.

10. Single crochet (sc): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there should
be 2 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through both loops on hook.

11. Slip stitch (sl): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch and loop on hook.

Special Stitches

Crab Stitch: The crab stitch is created just like a single crochet, except you work the
stitch to the right of your hook instead of the stitch to the left. Essentially you are working
backwards on your row. You will start the row by chaining one and then insert the hook
into the stitch to the right, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops on the
hook. It may take several stitches before you can truly see what the stitch looks like and
how cool it is.
