Courtesy Pattern : CP71 - Pumpkin Pie Gnomie

CROCHET PATTERN
CP71 - Pumpkin Pie Gnomie

My First 'Gnomie' Crochet Pattern...

My Gnomie was designed in 2020ish - although I don't recall the exact date...
(Obviously, since this Pumpkin Pie Gnomie was the only one to be fully completed - it was probably August or September for a Fall publishing)... it was intended that, since all Gnomies would share the same general instructions for Body, Nose, Hat and Arms, I would release them in sets of 3 - the "Seasonal Gnomies".  Other bodies were created in a Fall theme (Sept, Oct, Nov) but may never be 'finished' - there are just so many gnomes in the crochet world at the moment.

Well.. as it's been a minute since I have given you all a free pattern, and since it is highly unlikely that I will ever get around to making any set - let alone 4 different sets of Gnomies - I thought it might be nice to give y'all a little treat for Halloween.

I hope you enjoy!  This pattern has been 'proofread' by a 3rd party, but NOT tested by any hands - so please let me know if you encounter any typos or errors within this pattern so that it may be corrected for others.

FINISHING UP
BEARD(Make 1) 
with White,
___ Cut at least 20 pieces of yarn to approximately 12 inches in length each  
I used several strands of Oatmeal & Orange to provide an accenting color in the Beard - but you may not wish to do so.  
Once you have all pieces attached to the underside of the Nose, use the Wire Bristle Brush or Old Hairbrush to lightly brush out the yarn, to give the appearance of a more fluffy & 'hairlike' Beard.

*Optional - Using a seperate length of yarn, secure the completed Hat to the Body carefully insuring that brim of Hat rests along the Nose so there aren't gaps that will have you asking "where are his eyes?".
