DIY Patrón de Ganchillo Groove Cowl

Earthwhisper Gnome is an adorable gnome, inspired by the folk tales of little mystical creatures that inhabit the deep dense forests, helping Mother Nature throughout the seasons, with their magic and enchantments.

Like all gnomes, he has a long pointy hat that covers his eyes, a big rounded nose and a full bushy beard that brings out the cuteness of these little creatures.

It combines two techniques, knitting and crochet, making this little piece a good combination of these two crafts. The body is made in amigurumi technique and the hat features a large knitted cable at the front. To complete this magical little fellow, there is a fluffy pompom on the top of his pointy hat.

You will need:

• 100g x Eco Barbante Milano (Colour Lagoon)
• 80g x Ribbon XL (Colour Blazing Blue)
• Macrame yarn leftovers (for the beard)
• 7 mm / US 10 1/2 Knitting Needles (or other suitable needle size to obtain gauge or the right texture for you)
• 3,5 mm / US E-4 Crochet Hook (or other suitable hook size to obtain gauge or the right texture for you)
• Cable needle
• Pillow stuffing
• Hot or textile glue
• Cardboard  circle (with approximately 3,5 cm radius)
• Felted ball (for the nose) - optional
• Stitch markers
• Tapestry needle

Measurements:

• Height (from body to the pompom):  38 cm
• Height (body): approximately 23 cm
• Width (measured at the body): 7 cm

Gauge:

13 stitches and 15 rows for a tension swatch of 10 cm x 10 cm (4 in x 4 in) in BLO dc st, using a 3,5 mm crochet hook.

10 stitches and 32 rows for a tension swatch of 10 cm x 10 cm (4 in x 4 in) in garter stitch, using 7 mm needles.
