CONSTRUCTION
The Mini Plaid Gnome Hat is worked from the bottom-up. Begin working the band in rows from the side across. Join the band and work the plaid pattern in rounds around the band. Gather the hat to close. Finish with a tassel beard and glue a mini wooden bead for the nose.
PLAID CHART
The chart is read from right to left for each round. Each box indicates 1 half double crochet stitch. Change the colour on the slip stitch join. Do not cut colours; pick up and drop off as you go. When changing colours throughout the round, work the last yarn over of the last stitch with the next colour. Float the colour not being used behind the work rather than crocheting over it.

I’m so happy with how my Christmas Tree turned out. I added wooden bead garland and a few pinecone ornaments. I used my Easy C2C Blanket for my Tree Skirt and the Chunky Buffalo Plaid Crochet Throw to stay with the plaid theme. If you love my Christmas Sweater you can get it HERE and my skirt HERE. They really helped give my tree the rustic aesthetic I was going for!
Not only do these crochet ornaments look beautiful on a Christmas tree, but they make the perfect present toppers as well. The decorations vary in skill level, and some can be made with no crochet experience. That way, the entire family can get involved.
