Pietje

Hey Lovelies! Here is another Sinterklaas related Amigurumi, it’s a little Pietje! I hope you like him. It was very different to make compared to the Sint version (which you can find here!). I kept changing my mind on how I wanted it to look, in the end I just went with this. Tried really hard to not keep fiddling around. Let’s go to the pattern.

For this pattern you’ll need:
♥ Yarn in the colors Purple, Blue, White, Black and Brown/Beige. (I used Budgetyarn.com and Stylecraft Special DK)
♥ Crochet hook. ( I used a 3mm)
♥ A few feathers.
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Yarn Needle.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ Stitch Marker.

Stitches used (US Terms):
Magic Ring.
CH = Chain.
SLST = Slip Stitch.
SC = Single Crochet.
HDC = Half Double Crochet.
DC = Double Crochet.
ST = Stitch.
BL = Back Loops.
FL = Front Loops.
Inc = Increase.
Dec = Decrease.
(…) = Repeat the space in brackets the given number of times.
[…] = Total number of stitches.

This pattern is made with continues rounds, unless stated otherwise. Use a stitch marker to mark your first/last stitch of your row.

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start to assemble Amigurumi’s I use sewing pins first. This way I can move all parts around until I am happy. I recommend you do so as well.

Sew the hat on the body, it will go up till the collar. On top the the black part of the hat the nose will go. Last sew on his feet. And don’t forget to add some feather to his hat, to finish it off!

That was it already for this Pietje Gnome! It’s not too hard to make, but oh so cute! I hope you will enjoy this pattern. Let’s make it fun inside out home’s even when the world is cruel outside. It’s better to try to do those things we can control and make us feel a little better instead of being anxious all the time.

If you decided to make this Pietje Gnome, please, show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY. I would love to see what you made with my patterns!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

Love
Danielle
