Construction
The Rustic Farmhouse Gnome is crocheted in a seamless, continuous round from the bottom up. Make sure to use a stitch marker to indicate the first stitch of each round for accurate tracking. Start by working on the base, then transition to decreasing stitches to shape the neck, and follow with increasing stitches for the head section. For added stability, place a rice bag in the base of the gnome. You can add stuffing progressively throughout the crocheting process. Finally, crochet the hat in the round and attach beard and nose.
