CHIMNEY SWEEP GNOME

Are chimney sweeps a sign of good look where you come from? Then this little guy is the perfect gift for New Years Day.
You can choose between two hat-variants: The open top hat has room for a small pot of clover. The closed top hat can be decorated nicely.
Add some ribbon around the neck and ready is the lucky charm gnome.

All steps are explained in detail in words and pictures, so this pattern is suitable for (practiced) beginners as well.
This pattern contains 11 pages of crochet instructions and 17 pages of detailed step-by-step instructions.

Used techniques (US crochet terms): magic ring, chain, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, increases and (invisible) decreases, crocheting in front loops and back loops – explained.
The figures are crocheted in continuous rounds/spirals as well as back and forth in rows.

With 3.0 mm hook and DK yarn or 2 strands of sport weight yarn the gnome gets to be 10 cm tall.

You need it smaller or bigger? No problem! Simply use lighter or heavier yarn. The available room for the small flower pot changes accordingly.
