It is Day 10 of the Mini Amigurumi Advent, coming up on halfway through, and today we have a little gnome, sitting with his tall pointy hat and long beard, dressed in red and green Christmas colors.
This is the only of the 24 designs in this series that doesn't have eyes, because his hat is pulled down over his eyes and you just see his nose poking out under his hat and above his beard.
The gnome is made in a sitting position with little feet sticking out in front. He is made in multiple pieces all sewn together. He is about 5" tall.
