Crochet Gnome ornament w/ free pattern

I have fallen in to gnome addiction that everyone seems to have these days so I had to try to make some ornaments for my tree and my friends and family. Just so happens I had found some great new chunky Christmas yarn and was itching to find something to use it for.  I got the Big Twist yarn here . The solid color is 2 strands of regular ole Red Heart. I find the best prices on it here . These make up really fast and makes everyone say "awwwwww" and who doesn't need a super quick project these days or some quick gifts. The only supplies needed are  # 5 or 6 yarn or 2 strands of a #4 "M" hook hot glue gun wooden beads or balls for nose faux fur pom pom all rounds are work in circle with no joins. Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of round if needed. For the pointy top hat ... Rd 1: make a Magic Circle and SC 3 in circle Rd2: SC 2 in each  for a total of 6  Rd3: SC 2 in each for a total of 12 Rd 4-9: SC in each stitch around and finish off Roll Bottom up s

Crochet Scarf Shawl with pockets w/ link to pattern

2 strands of Yarn Bee Black This has by far been one of my best selling items that I make. It is such a quick and simple pattern. If you haven't tried one yet then I highly recommend you do. I personally went with a different hook size than the original pattern called for and did not put the fringe on, which is not uncommon for me. I generally use a pattern as a starting point and adjust it to my liking. I have experimented with yarns from size 3 up to 6. I liked them all bur 4 and 5 weight was my favorite. I have made at least 2 dozen of these over the last year and a half. It takes me about 4 hours a piece to complete one. Have you made any what are your thoughts and favorite colors?
