Gnomes are every where this year! This cute little guys bring are adorable and are perfect for Christmas decor.

This Gnome Crochet Pattern is a fairly large size amigurumi measuring about 14″ tall. Use Bulky Weight yarn or 2 strands of Worsted Weight Yarn held together. Worsted Weight Yarn can typically be less expensive, so can be a perfect option for this pattern. Value yarn also works well for amigurumi, like Red Heart Super Saver.

This Gnome Crochet Pattern is worked from the top down. The body and the hat is in one piece. Make and attach the arms, feet, and nose after. Then, attach the strands of yarn for the beard. Poly-Fil is needed to stuff the Gnome.
