Wizard

I tried to make a gnome. I ended up with a wizard. Though I'm not disappointed. He is still cute. Maybe I will have to try a different approach next time, if I want a gnome.



I used an f hook throughout

Head and Hat

Start with tan yarn
Rnd 1: 5 sc in a circle
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc (I will call this increase from here on) around (10)
Rnd 3: *sc1, increase*, repeat around (15)
Rnd 4: *sc2, increase*, repeat around (20)
Rnd 5: *sc3, increase*, repeat around (25)
