The Easter gnomes are coming ....

They are still not quite sure whether they should pack their winter hat and dye Easter eggs, or once again get out the sled and enjoy the last snow.

But actually it is nice that you have the choice ...

The gnomes are described in two sizes, one in about 25/ 10 inches and one in about 30 cm/ 12 inches.

sc single crochet
st slip stitch
mc magic circle
hdc half double crochet

tc triple crochet

sk skip

needed equipment:

• a purple/ turquoise (turquoise) Pompom about 4- 5 cm/ 2-,5 inches diameter

The information for the pictured gnomes come first, the ones after the slash are for the second small gnome, the one in bracket for the big one.
