Braids Good old gnome

Place braids above the arms directly under
the hat.

Cut about 30 cm (12 inches) length of brown

yarn and fold it in half. Stick the crochet hook
in one hole and out another on the head
(around a stitch). Grab the yarn with the hook
and pull a small loop of the yarn through.
Keeping the hook in the loop, hook the two
sections of yarn and pull another loop
through the first (like you are making a
crochet chain with 2 yarns).
Ch 5 (or repeat until the braids are the length
you like). Pull tightly to end and cut yarn to
desired length. Tie a small ribbon of orange
yarn around each braid.

red, white, black
