Dear crochet lover,

First of all, thank you so much for wanting to make this cute Japanese/ Chinese Lucky

Maneki Neko cat gnome, I hope that you will enjoy recreating him as much as I loved

designing him for you! I am more than happy for you to gift or sell any items made from

this pattern but would love if you could provide a link to my Etsy shop “Pampinognome”

and credit @Pampino_HM on instagram as the designer. Much love, time and effort

have gone into designing this amigurumi pattern for you and would appreciate if you do

not share, reproduce or sell this pattern either in its entirety or in parts. I always love

seeing your finished creation, so please do use the hashtag #pampinostore and

#Pampino_HM on Instagram! Never hesitate to contact me through my Etsy shop

should you have any questions with regards to the pattern and I will do all I can to help

you as best as I can! Keep creating cuteness with stitches!

With love, Nazeli

PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS: This pattern is written using American terminology and is worked in

continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. If gnome is made using the materials described, he

will be 16 cm tall from the top to the base of body.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy

Materials.

1. Basic Yarns –Alize cotton gold, 100g/ 330m, (55% cotton, 45%acrylic) or Yarn Art Jeans- red,

milk white, dark yellow and beige.

2. Crochet hook 2.5 mm

3. Fibrefill / toy stuffing

4. Stitch markers, darning needles

5. cartboard for body

6. yarn for beard- any 100 % acrylic yarn yellow

ABBREVATIONS: ch = chain | dc = double crochet | dc-inc = double crochet increase | dec =

decrease | hdc = half double crochet | hdc-inc = half double crochet increase | inc = increase |

rnd = round | sc = single crochet | sk = skip | sl = slip stitch | st = stitch

A VERY QUICK GUIDE TO THE CROCHET STITCHES USED IN THIS PATTERN:

1. Chain (ch): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through loop on hook.

2. Double crochet (dc): Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there should be

3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through both loops left on hook (there should be 2 loops left

on hook), yarn over, pull loop through remaining loop on hook.

 Crochet Patterns by PamPino

3. Double crochet increase (dc-inc): Work two double crochets into the same stitch.

4. Decrease (dec): I prefer to use the “invisible” decrease. For this, insert hook into front loop of

first stitch (from the front and under). Repeat into front loop of next stitch. Yarn over, pull loop

through 2 loops on hook, yarn over and pull loop through final 2 loops on hook.

5. Half double crochet (hdc): Yarn over, insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there

should be 3 loops on hook), yarn over, pull loop through all three loops on the hook.

6. Half double crochet increase (hdc-inc): Work two half double crochets into the same stitch.

7. Increase (inc): Work two single crochets into the same stitch.

8. Skip (sk): Skip the next stitch, or the number of stitches specificed in the pattern.

9. Magic ring: Wrap yarn around fingers to form a loop. Insert hook through middle of loop. Pull

working end of yarn through ring and chain the required number of stitches through. Pull the

yarn ends to close the loop.

10. Single crochet (sc): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch (there should be 2 loops on

hook), yarn over, pull loop through both loops on hook.

11. Slip stitch (sl): Insert hook, yarn over, pull loop through stitch and loop on hook.

12. Crab Stitch: The crab stitch is created just like a single crochet, except you work the stitch to

the right of your hook instead of the stitch to the left. Essentially you are working backwards on

your row. You will start the row by chaining one and then insert the hook into the stitch to the

right, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. It may take several

stitches before you can truly see what the stitch looks like and how cool it is.

Or do this stitch like on my video- it is very easy way, link

Rnd 6-7:sc in all 30 st [30]

From here we will crochet with 2 colors/ add white yarn

When changing colors, switch on the last pull through of the stitch to complete the sc with the new color.

To help prevent your different color yarns from twisting and tangling, place each yarn ball in different areas (to your

left and right). When you drop a color , just hold your work up a little, to allow gravity to help organise your yarns.

We will start the next rnd with the yellow yarn, and introduce the white yarn. Again, just pull the new color through

to finish the lastwhite stitch to join, and crochet around the starting end to secure.
