Pattern details
Four characters to crochet
- Classic: a red hat and grey body with a white beard and pink nose.
- Nordic: a cream hat with a counted red-and-white Fair Isle-look band and a red body.

- Sweet: a red-and-white candy-cane spiral hat, a pink body and a flat peppermint on the brim.
What is included
4 designs in one 25-page English PDF, using US crochet terms with a UK conversion table. Includes the shared body, cone hat, loop beard and nose; counted colourwork and applique pieces; linked contents; size drawings; assembly; finishing and care; and troubleshooting.
Size and materials
At gauge, each gnome is about 25.4 cm tall with the hat upright. The base is about 9.5 cm across, the body 12.7 cm high, the hat 14.6 cm long and the beard 10.8 cm long. Yarn, tension, stuffing and a bent tip change the finished size.
Intermediate. Use worsted cotton or cotton-acrylic with a 3.5 mm hook, polyester fibrefill, a smooth plastic-canvas or cardboard base insert, and 100 g poly pellets in a securely sealed fabric pouch per gnome. Yarn buying allowances: Classic 218 m / 238 yd; Nordic 233 m / 255 yd; Woodland 228 m / 249 yd; Sweet 228 m / 249 yd. An enclosed pipe cleaner is optional for a gently bendable tip.
These weighted gnomes are decoration, not a toy. Keep pellets and all small parts away from small children and pets. Display indoors with the whole base supported. Spot clean only and keep the weighted base dry.
This is a downloadable crochet pattern. Finished gnomes, yarn and supplies are not included.
