Step 2

On the card, draw a line 3/4 inch from the top and cut it out. This will give you a strip of card to make the gnome hat.

Step 3

Take the card strip and make a circle. Measure round the top of the pompom to make sure it fits. Once you have the right size secure with sellotape.

Step 4

Take the second colour of wool, measure and cut 40cm lengths. Start by cutting approximately 50 lengths of wool.

Step 5

Wrap the wool around the card circle as shown in the picture below. Continue to do this until all the wool is used or the card circle is full. If you need more wool lengths just cut more to make sure your card circle is fully covered.

Once all the circle is covered, push all the wool through the hole so it looks like the picture below.

Step 6

Take the pompom, if you still have a length wool on the pompom push the wool through the hat. Tie all the wool together using another piece of wool. This will create the top of the gnome hat.

Trim the top of the wool. Secure the hat to the pompom with a small amount of hot glue.
