PHONE STAND - GNOME

With this pattern you can crochet a cute little helper for your desk.
He can keep your mobile phone safe and can store lots of stuff in his pockets.
The hat can be made as long as you like. The knot in a long hat makes an excellent pin cushion. :)
The Gnome can be done without the storage pockets. They are optional.

This Gnome can hold mobile phones up to 3.27 inches in width.

All steps are explained in detail in words and pictures, so this pattern is suitable for (practiced) beginners as well.
This pattern contains 18 pages of crochet instructions and 13 pages of detailed step-by-step instructions.

Used techniques (US crochet terms): magic ring, chain, slip stitch, single crochet, bobble stitch - explained, increases and (invisible) decreases, crocheting in front loops and back loops – explained, changeing yarn-color.
The figures are crocheted in continuous rounds/spirals as well as back and forth in rows.
