So I finally broke down and decided to jump on the gnome wagon so to speak. To be honest gnomes freak me out, so I avoided them as long as possible. Probably some weird childhood trauma that involved a garden gnome, or something, wedged deep in my psyche, I really don't know, but something about them just bugs me.
This little guy was originally a snowman attempt that somehow looked like a gnome by the time I was almost finished so I just went ahead with it. I whipped up another with a different chenille yarn, gave him a gnomey nose, and poof I had a gnome.
My new release for this week is the Little Gnome crochet pattern!
The Mainstays white Cozy Chenille yarn I used in creating the snowman was a bit thicker than the Premier Basix Chenille yarn I used for the gnome, so the snowman ended up being just slightly larger in the end. I used the BERNAT brand velvet yarn, which is on the thinner side for a velvet yarn, to create both of the hats. The post stitches used in creating the hat give it quite a bit of stretch so it can easily adapt to whatever size you end up with, within reason that is.
Your finished project should measure about 15.5” around & 7” tall, depending on which yarn you use, your tension, and how much you stuff him.
