Beardsley the woodland gnome
This little gnome is rarely seen by people because he spends daylight hours underground. As his pale skin and large eyes attest, Beardsley ventures outside into the woods only at night time.
He is the perfect small amigurumi pattern for beginners - he's made with single crochet in the round (for the body and hat) and in rows (for the beard). His little ears are made using a bobble stitch but full instructions for the two bobble stitches are included in the pattern.
To complete this pattern, you’ll need:
DK weight yarn in blue, red, white and skin tone.
Size F (3.75mm) crochet hook
9mm black safety eyes
polyester stuffing
Tapestry needle
