Assembly
1. Use pins to attach the nose to the head. The top edge of the nose should be on or about row 33 and the bottom edge on or
about row 29 (photo 1). Sew around (photo 2-3).
2. Attach the beard to the head under the nose between rounds 30 and 31 (photo 4-6).
Sew the arms onto either side of the body under round 29 (photo 7-8).
4. Using photo as a guide for placement, sew one end of
each suspender to front of trousers together with a buttons
(use grey sewing thread (photo 9-10).
Cross suspenders at back and sew opposite ends of
suspenders in place on back of trousers (use a tails of yarn for sewing. Weave in ends (photo 11-12).
5. Use pins to attach the hat to the head.
You can refer to my photo 13-14
for the positioning.
Sew the hat to the head at several points.
6. Use pins to attach the legs onto either side of the body in line with the arms (photo 15). Then attach the trouser legs around
the legs (the last row of the trouser legs should be at the bottom) (photo 16-17). Make sure the gnome do not throw off his
balance while sitting (photo 18). I attached the legs between rounds 7 and 10, the trouser legs between rounds 4 and 11.
Sew around the legs first (photo 19) and then sew
around the trouser legs (photo 20-22).
7. Using about 6 – 7 inches
(15 cm) of Red yarn and photo 23-25 as a guide, sew the boots to the legs.
Congratulations, you’ve completed your Christmas Gnome!
