CROCHET

YARN
I prefer using a blend of cotton and acrylic fiber yarn / Sport / Fine yarn. A
length yarn used for this pattern is about 160m (174 yds) per 50g. With this
yarn I used a crochet hook 2.5mm.
If you are going to use another yarn you need to grab a crochet hook that
suitable for your yarn and gauge/tension should be tight enough so the toy
stuffing doesn’t show up through the crocheted fabric.

sl st slip stitch
SC2tog Single crochet two together: Insert hook into stitch and draw up a loop.
Insert hook into next stitch and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all
3 loops on hook.

BLO/FLO Back loop only/Front loop only

Surface slip stitch: place a thread behind the fabric, insert hook into the crocheted
fabric from the front to the back and grab yarn on hook, pull a loop through to the
front. Insert hook from front to back and pull a loop to the front side and through the
loop on the front of the fabric to create a surface slipped stitch.

TIPS before you start

Single Crochet “V” and “X”
The typical method to make a single crochet is to insert your hook into a
stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops. This
method makes a 'V' stitch.
The other lesser-known method to make a single crochet is to insert your
hook into a stitch, yarn under, pull through, yarn over, pull through both
loops. This method makes an 'X' stitch.
Please, note that I use SC “x”.
LIFEHACK:
You can use this crocheted item as a door stop.
Make a small fabric bag (a size 10cm x 15cm or so) (as well you can use a finished small
pouch bag and stitch along an opening when a bag is filled with some filler)
Fill with Pebbles, cat litter, washed sand, rice or beans (food may attract insects)
When you have done a first round with decrease at a bottom of each gnome you can
put the bag inside along with the rest of the filler and continue crocheting closing the
bottom.

Use a contrast thread to mark the beginning of each round.

TWISTED CORD
The initial thread length should be three times as long as the length of the final cord. For
example, if your final cord should be approx. 50cm, you need to grab 150cm threads
1 Take a double Brown thread about 150 cm length, make a knot on one end
2 Hook on for something (I use a door handle) and start to twist
3 Fold in half and remove the end from the door handle
4 Straighten the cord and make a knot on the other end
