4. Place the hat around the body, and slightly above the nose (it's gonna be tight) and angle the hat towards the back.
5. Sew it on.

Tips

• Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round when working in continuous rounds.
• Stuff firmly but not overstuffed so pieces hold their shape and sewing is easier.
• Leave long yarn tails for sewing parts together; use a yarn needle to attach pieces securely.

Enjoy personalizing your gnome with different hat colors, stripes, or small embellishments. Small changes to yarn colors and placement of the beard and hat will create a variety of charming gnome personalities.
