Are you looking for unique crochet Christmas gnome? Try this one and you won’t regret. As well as that, gnome is easy to make and I included loads of photos for it to be even easier 😉
Also, this crochet Christmas gnome is like little Christmas wreath and can be used as wall, door or Christmas tree decoration – you can hang it anywhere.
It should be noted, if made with 3.0mm crochet hook and DK yarn you will get height of finished crochet Christmas gnome approximately 25cm and width 16cm.
First of all, we are going to crochet long strip which we are going to wrap around our 10cm diameter foam ring.
Then we are going to crochet arms, legs, nose and hat.
And at last, using glue gun and tapestry needle we are going to assemble everything together into our crochet Christmas gnome.
I hope you will enjoy this pattern and find it very useful in Christmas preparation madness.
