gnome crochet pattern Archives

It’s the beginning of the President’s Day weekend. Will you have the day off on Monday? A day off means extra crochet time!

My husband wanted something for his office to signify President’s Day, and I love gnomes, so I came up with Lincoln, the Gnome President. He’s so cute and easy to make! The only sewing involved is attaching his nose to his face.

Gnome measures approximately 11” tall.

Gnomes have been depicted in literature as far back as 1566 in A Book on Nymphs, Sylphs, Pygmies, and Salamanders, and on the Other Spirits by Paracelsus. They are said to guard the precious stones and minerals of the earth and can move through the soil as easily as humans move through air. Sometimes they are depicted as small, intelligent, and helpful to humans. Other stories show them as hot-tempered and combatant. J.R.R. Tolkein’s gnomes are tall and beautiful, but all authors seemed to agree that gnomes are immortal. In L. Frank Baum’s book The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, gnomes created the sleigh bells for Santa Claus‘ reindeer. Maybe that explains why Christmas Gnomes have become so popular over the last few years.

Crochet some skinny gnome decorations for your Christmas tree. Make a few to liven up your gift wrapping. Finished size is approximately 5″ tall x 1.5″ wide, and instructions are included to lengthen the ornament if you would prefer. Each ornament takes just a few yards of worsted and eyelash yarn, so they’re a great stash buster or bazaar item.

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn

6 yards MC

4 yards CC

Eyelash yarn 4 yards

Crochet hook size G (4.0 mm)

Yarn needle

½” pompom

10” silver or gold ribbon

Small amount of stuffing

Directions:

Rnd 1: With MC, ch 2 (or magic circle), 6 sc in 2^nd ch from hook. Do not join. Work in continuous rnds throughout unless otherwise specified.
