Rampenisse/Gnome/Tomte Hat | Crochet Pattern

It's that time of year again...

when we turn our loved ones into rampenissen,

and here's my favorite rampenisse in my father's bunad from Nordmøre, Norway.

Complete with crocheted nisse hat.

The pattern can be found at the following site:

Optional ribbon can be added for that Scandinavian flair,

or optional eye slits in the event its worn over the eyes like the gnomes do, apparently.

 And a removable nose.

 

 With eye openings and a nose                                          and without either...  

   

See the naughty rampenisse; he is eating the "Firklover" without removing the wrapper!?!?!

(...mmmmm Firklover mmmmm...)

I hope your holiday preparation is full of fun and laughter!

And of course lots of

Poinsettia (in-the-round) | Crochet Pattern

It's never too soon to prepare for the holidays for us

 "Makers"

as we need plenty of time for making!

So let's make some crocheted 

POINSETTIAS

with a little help from

Apple Blossom Dreams

and the crochet pattern that can be found in my

Etsy shop by clicking here.

There are so many possibilities with these festive flowers:

Bunting or Garland

 Laying around looking pretty

Ornaments (or earrings?)

Oh and wouldn't they make a lovely present topper?

     

How about some early holiday gift giving preparation?

These flowers so fun to make, keep and to gift. 

The pattern includes dozens of step-by-step photos, as well as a shortened version 

AND two video links for extra added assistance. 

Once you make a few for yourself you will likely find your friends and family requesting them. 

These were crocheted in Scheepjes Catona yarn.

Clicking here will direct you to where you can purchase this beautiful yarn

that comes in every color imaginable. 

Happy Early Holidays and

Warmly,

Astri
