Make a Fishing Gnome amigurumi with/without a face or as a candy jar! Use different sizes of yarn to make them different sizes. This is a “Choose Your Adventure” pattern where you will be prompted to make choices as you make the gnome.

Skill Level: Easy-Intermediate (not absolute beginner, but there is a lot of detailed support within the pattern for advanced beginners to learn new skills!)

This is a deluxe, stylized crochet pattern including interactive, clickable navigation, tons of photos, extra tips, and video links. (I think of it as an e-book in PDF format.) Don’t like the extra details? There’s a shorthand only pattern at the end just for you!

Your file includes:

1. Detailed pattern with fully-written out instructions (as if I’m reading a pattern to you) alongside shorthand instructions for learning support. This part of the pattern also has all photos and video links.
2. Printer-friendly, shorthand, text-ONLY pattern pages (use the table of contents for quick access)
