A cheerful leprechaun gnome for St Patrick's Day: a tall light-green hat with a lucky three-leaf shamrock, a ginger beard and a sturdy green body that stands on its own. The shamrock is made as a brooch, so you can pin it on the hat, wear it, or turn it into a keyring.
An easy pattern by Tatiana Knittoy with step-by-step photos. Every detail of the gnome is crocheted with two strands held together, so the parts are firm and keep their shape. Please note: the yellow coin shown in some photos is not included.
