Capricornus Gnome

Capricornus Gnome. I crochet Gnome in continuous spiral rounds with hook 2.0mm. and DK Acrylic Yarns ( 300m./100g.), Gold Yarn (135m./25g.) and use 0.6mm. metal wire for horns. The Yarns in this pattern are just a suggestion. You can use your favourite colours and Yarn. That’s why I am usually don’t indicate manufacturers. Please be aware not to mix different manufacturers. It is important to compare the strength and length of the used Yarn. Using Yarn from a few manufacturers for one figure can lead to wrong proportions. - Use a stitch marker to mark the end or if you prefer the beginning of each round. - Make invisible decreases when using two front loops of st. for it. - Work all the project using both loops of the stitch unless otherwise noted. - Some pictures may be presented with different colour of the Yarn or are from my other projects. - Before you start to crochet the item, please read “Tips and Techniques” pages.

Assembly. Please ref. to the pictures. — sew on the nose. — make the beard. Method 1.The beard can be made by tying strips (20-22 strips) of Yarn to stitches all around the nose as marked on pic. with yellow pins. Each stop is approx. 18-20cm. in length, if you make them too short will be very difficult to attach it to the toy and after you brush it they can be too short. Attach the strips very close around the nose, separate each strip on strands and brush it with metal pet brush make the beard shape as you like. Please see the pic. how to attach the strips from my other projects. Method 2. Cut 20-22 strips of Yarn each approx. 18-20cm. in length, make a knot in a middle, separate each strip on strands, brush it with pet brush, or leave as strips of yarn. Attach it above the nose, glue on the beard around nose and on the chest. Make the beard shape as you like, trim it where needed. After you brushed strands you can use steam iron or hair straightener to make the yarn straight. — sew on/glue on arms to the body. — attach Bow and Arrow to the hands (sew on of glue it on) —put the hat on the gnome, stuff hat to fill out the shape. Sew on or glue on the hat to the head. Method 1.

Method 2.

— Optional: with pliers cut 2 pieces of metal wire 0.6 mm. approx. 10-11 cm. long and insert them into each horn, bend beer the ends with pliers , shape the horns in your desire shape. —put the hat on the gnome, insert tho ends of the wire into the head ( if you use wire), add stuffing inside the hat. Stitch/glue on the hat to the head.

Tips and Techniques

Tips and Techniques. MAGIC RING

Start crocheting in traditional (joined) rounds or continues spiral with a Magic Ring.

pull

sl.st in first st. for spiral crochet

sl. st+ ch1. for traditional joined rounds crochet

Stop the beginning of the yarn between the fingers of the hand with which you hold the work. Wrap the yarn once around your index finger crossing it on itself. With the crochet pass the upper yarn under the first, so to make a loop. Remove the ring from your index finger, continuing to hold it tightly. Make the first chain through the loop on the hook thus blocking the yarn around the ring. Crochet along the ring the single stitches indicated in the instructions , including the ring and the beginning tail of the yarn. Finally, always keeping the work firmly between your fingers, pull the beginning of the yarn to tighten the ring to the desired size. Join the round with sl. st in first st. for spiral way crochet and sl. st +ch1. for traditional (joined rounds) crochet.

Tips and Techniques

HOW TO CROCHET IN THE TRADITIONAL ROUND WAY The traditional round work involves closing each round before starting the next one. In the case of a sc. work, the round is closed by a sl. st made in its first stitch, followed by a ch1. to bring the work to the level of the next round. In this way inevitably appears a line along the closing of the rounds. To make the gap between one round and the next less visible, you can proceed as described below.

Close the round with a sl. st made in the back loop of the first stitch, pass the hook in the first full stitch and crochet the first sc. of the new round. HOW TO CROCHET IN CONTINUES SPIRAL In continues spiral work there are no interruptions between one round and the next, simply continue to crochet as described in the pattern. This is why it’s important to mark first or last stitch of each round with a marker. While in the traditional round work the beginning and the end of each round are aligned, in spiral work they are characterised by a small step.

Tips and Techniques

Tips and Techniques. HOW TO MAKE AN INVISIBLE FINISH FOR OPEN EDGES To start, complete your last st. and then cut the yarn. Pull the loop on your hook to draw cut yarn tail up to the top, then thread the yarn tail onto a tapestry/yarn needle. Now we are going to join it seamlessly to the rest of the round. To do this, skip the next st., and insert your needle, going from front to back, under both loops of the following stitch. Draw the yarn through to the back. Now go back to your final stitch that has the yarn tail emerging from the middle of it. Insert your needle down into this st. so it passed under both the back loop of the st. and the back bar behind that poop. Pull on the yarn tail to draw it smaller until the loop matches the size of all the loops in top/edge round of your piece. Weave the yarn tail through the back of several st. of your piece and trim the remaining yarn tail.
