Roly-poly Winter Gnome

"Create this cute winter gnome using worsted weight yarn, an E (3.5mm) crochet hook, poly-pellets, and poly-fil! He's a chunky little dude made with a flat bottom (don't tell him that, he's self conscious!) and with added poly-pellets so he sits unaided by himself. Photos are included to help with assembly. There are also additional photos to help show how the beard is created that show how many strands of yarn are added to create it per row. Hat is left unstuffed so you can leave it as a classic shape or a little rumpled! "

NotesGauge not critical, Use a hook small enough to create a nice tight fabric so that your stuffing won't pop through.
