Amigurumi Gnome Beard

• Ch12
• R1: Sc in the 2nd Ch from hook and each Ch across. Fasten off. (11)
• Cut 24  eight inch strands of yarn for the beard. Group three strands together and attach them to the 7 center single crochet like you would add fringe to a scarf. Then take the remaining 3 strands and add them as fringe to the other side of the center 3 Sc. This will give us our strands for our mustache.

Before stuffing your gnome, sew your beard on to you gnome in a U shape. Make sure to leave room for the nose and keep the ends close to the edge of the top of the body to be able o hide them with the hat.

If you choose, braid your mustache and secure with a small piece of yarn.

Give your beard a little trim to shape and lightly mist it with some water, style the beard and let it dry that way to better hold that shape.

I placed a clover in his hand, because it just seemed like the right thing to do. Here is a link to how to make the clovers
