🪄 Assembly

Step 1: Beard & Nose

Attach beard strands as described, brush and trim into shape.
Sew nose slightly overlapping the hat brim area so it sits snug and natural.
Fluff beard around nose for a full, cloudlike texture.

Step 2: Hat Placement

Position hat centered on top, brim resting just above beard line.
Tilt slightly backward for natural posture.
Sew brim securely (rounds 40–42) all around the base.

Step 3: Flowers & Stems

Sew stems to flower backs.
Attach to left side of hat in a diagonal line:
- Top flower angled outward
- Middle flower facing forward
- Bottom flower angled downward
Stems should curve softly, not stiff.

Step 4: Leaves

Attach 2 large leaves near base of central flower, one angled downward.
Add remaining leaves around flowers, alternating large and small.
Overlap and tuck leaves partially behind petals for natural layering.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Fluff beard once more; trim stray ends.
Optionally, apply faint blush under nose.
Ensure feet placement provides balance — gnome should stand freely.

💡 Tips for Best Results

✨ Work with tight, even tension for smooth shaping.
✨ Leave hat unstuffed for crisp silhouette.
✨ Fluff beard thoroughly with pet brush for maximum softness.
✨ Overlap leaves and flowers to achieve dimensional realism.
✨ Use invisible stitches for neat assembly.
✨ Cardboard base ensures standing stability.
