Hello, dear Crocheter,

My name is Maria and I’m a designer of CROCHETGNOME Toys and
patterns.
In case of any questions or doubts, please, feel free to contact me through
Etsy Convo or a marketplace messenger used for a purchase.
YARN
I prefer using a blend of cotton and acrylic fiber yarn / Sport / Fine yarn. A
length yarn used for this pattern is about 160m (174 yds) per 50g. With this
yarn I used a crochet hook 2.5mm.
If you are going to use another yarn you need to grab a crochet hook that
suitable for your yarn and gauge/tension should be tight enough so the toy
stuffing doesn’t show up through the crocheted fabric.

DC Double Crochet
INC Increase: work 2 SC in one stitch
sl st slip stitch
BLO/FLO Back loop only/Front loop only
SC2tog Single crochet two together: Insert hook into stitch and draw up
a loop. Insert hook into next stitch and draw up a loop. Yarn over,
draw through all 3 loops on hook.

TIPS before you start

Single Crochet “V” and “X”
The typical method to make a single crochet is to insert your hook into a stitch,
yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops. This method makes
a 'V' stitch.
The other lesser-known method to make a single crochet is to insert your hook
into a stitch, yarn under, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops. This
method makes an 'X' stitch. Please, note that I use SC “x”.
