Clothes do not have to be sewn according to a specific pattern. There is no specific style of gnome costume. Of the required attributes:

• wide-brimmed hat or bowler hat;
• maximum number of green shades;
• beard or mustache;
• a pot containing gold. Dwarves always carry it with them.

What a children's leprechaun costume looks like and how to sew it yourself

A children's leprechaun costume consists of green or black, slightly cropped trousers. The material can be satin or regular suit fabric. The main thing is that the child is comfortable in trousers.You can sew green pants using a pattern from the Internet, having previously taken all the measurements. The style should be selected depending on the build and age of the child. To make an original knitted beard, you will need:

• soft material for making lining;
• an elastic band, the length of which is approximately twenty-five centimeters;
• orange yarn.

The beard making process consists of several stages:

1. We assemble a chain of forty internal loops of orange thread.
2. We knit the purl and front rows.
3. To knit the front rows we use elongated loops.
4. For purl rows we use connecting posts.
5. The stitches use only one half stitch from the previous line.
6. Using purl rows, we return to the starting point of the front rows.

A top hat can be made of paper. For this you will need thick cardboard. It is covered with green material, the fields are glued, also covered with green fabric. A characteristic feature of the Irish gnome hat is a stylish black strap at the base of the cylinder. It can be made from fabric or paper. A gold belt buckle will make the hat special.

A leprechaun costume can include a standard jacket, tailcoat or vest with a bow tie - the imagination is not limited. The choice of model depends on the height, weight, and age of the baby. You can find a pattern for any jacket in a magazine or on the Internet. A green T-shirt or a white or black shirt is worn under the jacket.
