Registration:
Insert the arm wire between about 6 and 7 rows, starting from the neck. Fill the pens slightly,
put on a wire, sew to the body.
Embroider a smile with black sewing thread, make a beard under the smile. I have semi-wool yarn,
make segments and thread through each column. With a well combed beard, you can trim to any
length.
Embroidery on the bottom. You can embroider with a cross every 2sbn 2 rows, you can immediately knit in red
color 2 rows when knitting the body.
You can add a pattern on the cap, embroider snowflakes with a simple thread, or glue rhinestones.
That's it, your santa gnome is ready 
