Cinco De Mayo Gnome

"Pour a margarita and pass the guacamole and let this little crochet gnome be your friend this holiday. This little gnome is very quick to crochet and really cute on a shelf. My goal for all my crochet gnomes was to keep the pattern nice and easy. The gnome is mostly worked in continuous rounds, so I recommend having a stitch marker on hand. A digital row counter also comes in handy for this pattern. For this pattern you will need to know how to single crochet, increase and decrease. (I kept the decreases to a minimum). You will also work one row in the front loop only, but if you do not know how to do this, then work it as a normal single crochet. It will only change the look a very small bit."
