2. Beard

Using white yarn, create a chain that measures approximately 8 inches long. Insert the hook into the 3rd chain from the hook and work 1 slip stitch (sl st) in each chain across. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

3. Arms (Make 2)

Using skin-toned or preferred colored yarn, create a chain of 9 stitches. Leaving a long tail for sewing, fasten off.

Using red yarn, make a magic ring, then work 6 sc into the ring. Pull the ring tight.

Round 1: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Round 2-4: Work 1 sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

5. Assembly

Start by attaching the beard to the bottom of the gnome's head, making sure it covers the front of the head completely.

Next, sew the arms to the sides of the body, positioning them slightly below the head.

Lastly, place the hat on the gnome's head, allowing the tip to fold over slightly.
