Looking for fun seasonal decorations? Ask and you shall receive! These two adorable crochet gnomes, designed by Weronika Miechowicz, feature colorful outfits inspired by fall and Halloween. Whether you place them on your office desk, kitchen table, or favorite shelf, these hat-wearing figurines with long, lush beards will enhance the look of every festive display.
What Yarn Works Best for Crochet Gnomes?
To bring these crochet gnome amigurumi to life, prepare fine or super fine weight yarn in fall and Halloween colors. A great choice will make the following brands:
- Knit Picks Brava Sport Yarn – 100% acrylic
- Knit Picks Comfy Fingering Yarn – cotton-acrylic blend
- Alize Diva – fingering weight with acrylic fiber content
The pattern calls for two crochet hook sizes – a 2 mm crochet hook for the nose and beard, and a 3.5 mm hook to work the rest elements. You will also need some stuffing and a yarn needle for sewing.
Can Beginners Make This Pattern?
Yes, they can. This fall gnome crochet pattern includes easy step-by-step instructions with photos, so even if you have basic experience, you can still make this project. It will suit perfectly those beginners who are familiar with fundamental amigurumi techniques like working stitches in continuous rounds, increasing and decreasing, and assembling pieces.
How Tall Is the Finished Crochet Halloween Gnome?
When crocheted with suggested supplies, your gnome will be about 7” (18 cm) tall. If you use thicker yarn and larger hooks, your amigurumi will naturally get bigger. The sample size visible in the photographs makes these figurines perfect for table and shelf displays.
