Dear crochet lover,

First of all, thank you so much for wanting to make this cute Banana gnome, I hope that

you will enjoy recreating him as much as I loved designing him for you! I am more than

happy for you to gift or sell any items made from this pattern but would love if you

could provide a link to my Etsy shop “Pampinostore” and credit @Pampino_HM on

instagram as the designer. Much love, time and effort have gone into designing this

amigurumi pattern for you and would appreciate if you do not share, reproduce or sell

this pattern either in its entirety or in parts. I always love seeing your finished creation,

so please do use the hashtag #pampinostore and #Pampino_HM on Instagram! Never

hesitate to contact me through my Etsy shop should you have any questions with

regards to the pattern and I will do all I can to help you as best as I can! Keep creating

cuteness with stitches!

With love, Nazeli

PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS: This pattern is written using American terminology and is worked in

continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. If gnome is made using the materials described, he

will be 16 cm tall from the top to the base of body.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy

Materials.

1. Basic Yarns –Alize cotton gold, 100g/ 330m, (55% cotton, 45%acrylic) or Yarn Art Jeans- bright

yellow, dark yellow, brown and beige.

2. Crochet hook 2.5 mm

3. Fibrefill / toy stuffing

4. Stitch markers, darning needles

5. cartboard for body

6. any 100% acyrlic milk white yarn for beard

ABBREVATIONS: ch = chain | dc = double crochet | dc-inc = double crochet increase | dec =

decrease | hdc = half double crochet | hdc-inc = half double crochet increase | inc = increase |

rnd = round | sc = single crochet | sk = skip | sl = slip stitch | st = stitch

A VERY QUICK GUIDE TO THE CROCHET STITCHES USED IN THIS PATTERN:

1. Chain (ch): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through loop on hook.

2. Double crochet (dc): Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there should be

3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through both loops left on hook (there should be 2 loops left

on hook), yarn over, pull loop through remaining loop on hook.

3. Double crochet increase (dc-inc): Work two double crochets into the same stitch.

4. Decrease (dec): I prefer to use the “invisible” decrease. For this, insert hook into front loop of

first stitch (from the front and under). Repeat into front loop of next stitch. Yarn over, pull loop

through 2 loops on hook, yarn over and pull loop through final 2 loops on hook.

5. Half double crochet (hdc): Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there

should be 3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through all three loops on the hook.

6. Half double crochet increase (hdc-inc): Work two half double crochets into the same stitch.

7. Increase (inc): Work two single crochets into the same stitch.

8. Skip (sk): Skip the next stitch, or the number of stitches specificed in the pattern.

9. Magic ring: Wrap yarn around fingers to form a loop. Insert hook through middle of loop. Pull

working end of yarn through ring and chain the required number of stitches through. Pull the

yarn ends to close the loop.

10. Single crochet (sc): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there should be 2 loops on

hook), yarn over, pull loop through both loops on hook.

11. Slip stitch (sl): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch and loop on hook.

12. Crab Stitch: The crab stitch is created just like a single crochet, except you work the stitch to

the right of your hook instead of the stitch to the left. Essentially you are working backwards on

your row. You will start the row by chaining one and then insert the hook into the stitch to the

right, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. It may take several

stitches before you can truly see what the stitch looks like and how cool it is.

Or do this stitch like on my video- it is very easy way, link

Stuff the hat not firmly.

Put on the hat. The top of arms and nose should be placed under the hat. Move them the way you

like.

Put on the hat and attach it with simple stitches in 2-3 places.
