Cord for the Bow and 0.4mm. and 0.6mm. wire for the Arrow.
The Yarns in this pattern are just a suggestion. You can use your
favourite colours and Yarn. That’s why I am usually don’t indicate man-
ufacturers. Please be aware not to mix different manufacturers. It is im-
portant to compare the strength and length of the used Yarn. Using
Yarn from a few manufacturers for one figure can lead to wrong propor-
tions.

- Use a stitch marker to mark the end or if you prefer the beginning of
each round.
- Make invisible decreases when using two front loops of st. for it.
- Work all the project using both loops of the stitch unless otherwise
noted.
- Some pictures may be presented with different colour of the Yarn or
are from my other projects.

Bow and Arrow.

Method 1.
For Bow and Arrow you will need some craft wire (I used 0.4mm. wire for the bow and 0.6mm. for
the arrow), and Gold Craft Cord about 10-12 cm. long and brown/gold/yellow /wire for bow string.
Please ref. to pictures.
For the bow you’ll need to wrap craft 0.4mm. wire around 11-12cm. long cord and fix the ends with
few more wire wraps around the edges and after it attach the bow string it can be thread/yarn/wire
to each end of the bow.
For arrow shape 7-8 cm. long 0.6mm. wire with pliers as an arrow.

Method 2.
Make the arrow the same way as explained in Method1.

For the bow you’ll need 0.6mm wire and ribbon/gold yarn/thread and wrap or cast it around the
wire and secure the ends. Shaped it as a bow. as it is in Method1. and attach the bow string to the
ends of the bow it can be thread/yarn/wire to each end of the bow.
I advise not just wrap/cast it around the wire but also it with some glue.
Here is explanation how to do cast https://youtu.be/SXA3gBNiSiM

Assembly.
Please ref. to the pictures.
— sew on the nose.
— make the beard.
Method 1.The beard can be made by tying strips (20-22 strips) of Yarn to
stitches all around the nose as marked on pic. with yellow pins. Each stop
is approx. 18-20cm. in length, if you make them too short will be very dif-
ficult to attach it to the toy and after you brush it they can be too short.
Attach the strips very close around the nose, separate each strip on strands
and brush it with metal pet brush make the beard shape as you like. Please see the pic. how to attach
the strips from my other projects.

Method 2. Cut 20-22 strips of Yarn each approx. 18-20cm. in length, make a knot in a middle, sepa-
rate each strip on strands, brush it with pet brush. Attach it above the nose, glue on the beard
around nose and on the chest. Make the beard shape as you like, trim it where needed.
After you brushed strands you can use steam iron or hair straightener to make the yarn straight.

— sew on/glue on arms to the body.

— attach Bow and Arrow to the hands (sew on of glue it on)
—put the hat on the gnome, stuff hat to fill out the shape. Sew on or glue on the hat to the head.

Make some finishing touches, add some accessories if you like and your Sagittarius Gnome is ready.

Method 1. Method 2.

MAGIC RING

Start crocheting in traditional (joined) rounds or continues spiral with a Magic Ring.

pull

sl. st+ ch1. for

sl.st in first st. for
traditional joined
spiral crochet
rounds crochet

Stop the beginning of the yarn between the fingers of the hand with which you hold the work. Wrap
the yarn once around your index finger crossing it on itself. With the crochet pass the upper yarn
under the first, so to make a loop.

Remove the ring from your index finger, continuing to hold it tightly.

Make the first chain through the loop on the hook thus blocking the yarn around the ring.

Crochet along the ring the single stitches indicated in the instructions , including the ring and the
beginning tail of the yarn.

Finally, always keeping the work firmly between your fingers, pull the beginning of the yarn to
tighten the ring to the desired size.

Join the round with sl. st in first st. for spiral way crochet and sl. st +ch1. for traditional (joined
rounds) crochet.

 Tips and Techniques

HOW TO CROCHET IN THE TRADITIONAL ROUND WAY

The traditional round work involves closing each round before starting the next one. In the case of a
sc. work, the round is closed by a sl. st made in its first stitch, followed by a ch1. to bring the work to
the level of the next round. In this way inevitably appears a line along the closing of the rounds.
To make the gap between one round and the next less visible, you can proceed as described below.

Close the round with a sl. st made in the back loop of the first stitch, pass the hook in the first full
stitch and crochet the first sc. of the new round.

HOW TO CROCHET IN CONTINUES SPIRAL

In continues spiral work there are no interruptions between one round and the next, simply contin-
ue to crochet as described in the pattern.
This is why it’s important to mark first or last stitch of each round with a marker.
While in the traditional round work the beginning and the end of each round are aligned, in spiral
work they are characterised by a small step.

BLO (back loop only) and FLO (front loop only)

 Tips and Techniques

INCREASE and DECREASE.

5 INCREASE
To make an increase, just work 2 single crochet stitches in the designated
stitch below.

6 DECREASE
The decrease is the transition from two stitches to one only.
To make an invisible decrease take the front loops of the two stitches to be joined on the hook, pass
the thread through them and make a sc.
Invisible decreases.

Traditional way decreases

To make traditional way decrease take both loops of the two stitches to be joined on the hook, pass
the thread through them and make a sc.

 Tips and Techniques

Tips and Techniques.

HOW TO ATTACH A NEW YARN TO THE WORK with a sleep knot

Make a slip knot with the beginning of the new yarn and insert it on the hook. pass the hook in the
starting stitch and make a sc. as usual, the first sc. of the round.
Continue normally following the pattern.

THE TRADITIONAL WAY TO CHANGE COLOUR

To change from one colour to another during the work, make the last step of the last grey stitch, for
example, with the yarn of the next colour, orange in this case. You can 'crochet in' the tail ends as
you go. This will save you a lot of 'weaving in' in the end.

INVISIBLE START IN A SPIRAL WORK

How to attach a new yarn to the work without creating a step, but a gradual increase compared to
the round below.
Catch the yarn through the back loop of the stitch before the one to be worked, creating the first
loop on the hook. Work the first sc. as usual in the first stitch.

 Tips and Techniques

Tips and Techniques.

HOW TO MAKE AN INVISIBLE FINISH FOR OPEN EDGES

To start, complete your last st. and then cut the yarn.

Pull the loop on your hook to draw cut yarn tail up to the top, then thread
the yarn tail onto a tapestry/yarn needle. Now we are going to join it seam-
lessly to the rest of the round. To do this, skip the next st., and insert your
needle, going from front to back, under both loops of the following stitch.
Draw the yarn through to the back.

Now go back to your final stitch that has the yarn tail emerging from the middle of it. Insert your
needle down into this st. so it passed under both the back loop of the st. and the back bar behind
that poop. Pull on the yarn tail to draw it smaller until the loop matches the size of all the loops in
top/edge round of your piece.

Weave the yarn tail through the back of several st. of your piece and trim the remaining yarn tail.
