Assembly

Last step left – assembly.

Step 1: using tapestry needle attach hands to the body at round 27-28.

Step 2: using tapestry needle attach nose to the face. Attach it a bit below eyes between them. Stuff before closing.

Step 3: now we are going to make beard. I used white yarn Shachenmayr Baby Smiles yarn or you can try to use bernet velvet white yarn.

Cut about 20 pieces of yarn in 15 cm length. I am going to use different picture from our crochet Christmas gnome but I hope you still will be able to understand all process. Take your first strand of beard and slip stitch through a stitch next to your nose. Do 5 or more stitches on both sides and some under the nose.

Step 4: attach hat to the gnome using tapestry needle with red yarn or glue gun.

And that’s it! our crochet Christmas gnome is complete 😊😊😊
