Christmas Gnome Potholder

Here comes the cute Christmas elf “HoHoHo” and protects you from the hot pans and pots! A nice souvenir or Christmas gift is such an extraordinary potholder! You can also use it as a decorative cushion or as a small Christmas bag! A Christmas gift that is homemade with love always means more and this Christmas elf is crocheted quickly!

INFORMATION:
Be careful, the tutorial in written form is only in german available, just the charts are available in english.
This potholder is crocheted in the mosaic technique overlay. You will receive 11 pages of PDF instructions with a small introduction to mosaic crochet, 1 coloured chart/diagram complete (A4) & split to 3x - enlarged, a small photo tutorial for the stitches used and in written for the first rows, for an easy start. Thus also suitable for ambitious beginners. The US & UK version is also available in chart form. *English version only as chart**

Size:
Width 20 cm Height: 27 cm (with the yarn & crochet hook I used) You can use any yarn and the crochet hook that goes with it, depending if you do a potholder/pillow/ chunk, it will be bigger or smaller!

Yarn usage:
70 g white 25 g red, 40g green, 20g grey (These are approximate figures, because everyone crochets differently, sometimes tighter or looser etc!!!! Of course you can also crochet with other colours, just as you like it! If you crochet only the motif side, you will use less accordingly! For a cushion you will use more if you double the motif!
