Handmade Christmas decorations are the best, no doubt. The Santa Gnome Ornament crochet pattern by GoldenLucyCrafts will help you create adorable holiday decor. It can be used as a tree ornament or on top of a gift.
Materials Needed for Your Crochet Santa Gnome
To make this crochet Santa gnome ornament, you will need worsted weight yarn in red, white, beige, and black to create an iconic Santa. The designer used Red Heart Super Saver, but you can use any other yarn of comparable weight.
You will also need a 4.5 mm crochet hook, needle, and thread to sew the pieces together.
How to Crochet a Santa Gnome Ornament
This Santa Gnome Ornament crochet pattern makes a great project for those with intermediate experience. It is worked in parts: the body, beard, hat, and then sewn together.
First, you will crochet the main body piece, which will also function as the base of the ornament. Next, you will create an iconic red Santa hat. The beard makes this design quite whimsical and is crocheted with white yarn. The nose is a small but very important detail that you will work up using beige yarn.
When everything is ready, fasten all the parts together neatly using a sewing needle and matching thread.
What Size Does the Finished Gnome Ornament Measure?
When completed with the suggested materials, the Santa gnome ornament measures approximately 4-1/4” tall. It’s perfect for the Christmas tree because it is just large enough to stand out but not too big and overwhelming to throw off the balance of the tree.
With these dimensions, it is small enough to work as an applique for a larger craft project.
