Garden Gnome Pattern

This crochet pattern is for an adorable little Garden Gnome.

An original pattern by Fat Lady Crochet. Please note: this is a crochet pattern, not the finished physical item. If you purchase this thinking you’re getting a real gnome, I can’t help you, but I do admire your optimism.

This easy (but not beginner) crochet pattern is written in US terms and is designed for crocheters who know their way around a hook, can count past ten without using their fingers, and don’t mind a bit of sewing. Lots of photos are included to guide you along the way, because I like to set you up for success, not suffering.

You will need:

• 50 grams each of size 4 worsted weight yarn in Beige, Blue, Light Peach, Green
• 25 grams each of size 4 worsted weight yarn in Brown, White
• Scrap amount of size 4 worsted weight yarn in Black, Pink
• Crochet hook size G (4.00 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge
• Tapestry needle (aka your tiny weapon against loose ends)
• Fiber Fill (so your gnome isn’t just a sad pile of yarn)
• Stitch marker (unless you enjoy living dangerously)

Notes:

• The gnome’s legs, body, head, and hat are worked in one piece (because I’m nice like that).
• The gnome is worked in continuous rounds from the bottom up.
• The gnome’s arms and beard are worked separately and sewn on (it builds character, I promise).
• The finished gnome stands roughly 6 inches tall, making him the perfect tiny guardian for your shelves, plants, or weirdly judgmental office desk.
