Please keep in mind that different yarn may result in a bigger or smaller piece. Make
sure to adapt your hook size according to your yarn and personal tension.

The pattern for the little flowers is from here:
planetjune.com. Of course you can make other
flowers or applications you like.
Flower (small):
1. MR, in the ring: (ch 2, slst 1) x5
Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.
For the centre of the flower in a second color just knot a thread several times, pull
both yarn ends through the middle of the flower and knot it at the back.
Flower (bigger):
1. sc 5 in MR
If necessary color change to 2nd color
2. (slst in next st, ch 1, hdc in same st, ch 1) x5, join round with slst in first st
Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.
Finishing: pin the nose in the lower half of the
head, pin the pants and feet to an appropriate
place. Put the hat to the head and take a look at
your gnome. If you like what you see, sew on
the parts, except the hat. Attach or embroider
the eyes and maybe eyebrows too. Sew on the
hair or latch hook it with threads of equal length
of usual wool. Last but not least attach the
flowers on the hat, shape the hat and put it on
your gnome :o)
