This pattern for Middle Earth’s top-dog magic man is worked in worsted weight yarns, with wired limbs for maximum spell-casting posability.
Gandalf is a travelling, battle-scarred wizard of the world, and his robes are a reflection of his rough-and- tumble ways. Look for yarns in browns and greys that are tweedy or worn looking and mismatched, and then grab your Fool of a Hook and come along on a guaranteed orc-free crochet adventure!
