Beard The Beard Pattern The beard is worked in rows. This version of the beard starts with 3 bobble stitches at the bottom of the beard. NOTE: bobble = bobble stitch dc3tog as described above In dark grey yarn (charcoal):

The Bobble Stitch To create a texture on the beard the bobble stitch is used, in this case the bobble stitch with dc3tog (double crochet 3 together). Bobble stitches are worked from the wrong side of the work; this means that the bobble stitch will pop out away from you as you work. To create a bobble stitch dc3tog: Step 1

Step 2

yarn over, insert the hook in the next stitch in the row, yarn over and pull the yarn through (3 loops on the hook) yarn over and pull through the first 2 stitches on the hook (2 loops left on the hook)

From now on, we are basically repeating step 1 and 2. Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Step 6

Step 7

yarn over, insert the hook in the same stitch in the row, yarn over and pull the yarn through (4 loops on the hook) yarn over and pull through the first 2 stitches on the hook (3 loops left on the hook) yarn over, insert the hook in the same stitch in the row, yarn over and pull the yarn through (5 loops on the hook) yarn over and pull through the first 2 stitches on the hook (4 loops left on the hook) yarn over and pull through all 4 stitches on the hook, pull tight

NOTE: If you want bigger or smaller bobbles in the beard, just use more or less than 3 stitches (dc3tog) when creating the bobble.

Assembly 1. Sew the beard to the body. The bottom of the beard should be two rows above the bottom of the body. (see images below) 2. Sew the nose to the body. (see images below) 3. Sew the arms to the body so that the bottom of the arms aligns with the bottom of the beard. (see images below)

5. Put the cape around the vampire gnome. Sew it to the doll to keep it in place. (see images below) 6. Use two toothpicks to create the fangs. Cut them to the desired size. Glue them to the beard. (see images on the next page) 7. Weave in the ends. 8. Enjoy your new friend!

4. Sew the hat onto the body: pull it partially over the beard, the arms and the nose. Make sure the hat molds over the nose tightly. (see images on the next page)

Notes The doll should be crocheted quite tightly to avoid stretching of the fabric and the stuffing showing through the holes. Using a smaller hook than the one recommended can help if you crochet loosely.

Contact Info If you have any question, comments or problems with the pattern, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I am happy to help.

You can use other yarn then that used in this project. Just be sure to use the correct hook. Changing the yarn size will change the size of the finished project.
