About this pattern

A gnome for St Patrick's Day holding up a shamrock taller than himself. He wears a tall pointed green hat with a lighter green band, pulled down to his round pink nose so that no eyes show; under it a wide white beard with six short pale gray strands hides his body. Two short arms in green sleeves with pink hands stick straight out, and black boots peep out below. The hand on our right grips a long straight green stalk that carries a big three-leaf shamrock above the hat; each leaflet is heart shaped, half lighter green and half darker. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only.

49 stitches wide by 54 high: 1,236 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Bright Green 700 and 4 more).
