It’s perfect for decorating your home and adding a touch of spooky charm to your seasonal celebrations. Featuring multiple witch details, it’s so fun to make!
Materials to Start Your Gnome Amigurumi
Before getting down to this amigurumi project, make sure that you have the required supplies. The pattern calls for aran-weight yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook. You can use Red Heart Super Saver (Solids), a 100% acrylic that is very easy to work with, or go for a substitute of your choice. The sample seen in the photo features 7 Halloween-themed colors to create a colorful, festive look.
Additionally, you should also prepare some polyfil for stuffing and a dowel rod used to make the witch’s broom.
Building Your Gnome Step by Step
This crochet witch gnome pattern is ideal for intermediate crocheters. The toy is worked in continuous rounds using chains, single crochets, double crochets, and some increases. You will make all pieces separately, which includes the head, hat, arms, feet, cloak, hair, nose, and witch broom. Once they are done, you will assemble your toy.
How Tall Is the Finished Witch Gnome?
The finished gnome toy is about 7 inches tall, which makes it just perfectly sized crochet Halloween decoration. Place it on your porch table, fireplace mantel, or office desk. You can also add it to your seasonal centerpiece or use it as a gift basket topper.
To make your gnome amigurumi bigger, consider creating it with thicker yarn.
Customizing Your Gnome Creation
By customizing this handmade toy, you can create a delightful witch gnome that suits your personal style and decor preferences.
Switching the color palette is one way to give it a unique look. You can also play around with different embellishments or add some embroidery details. Or how about pairing your gnome with a crocheted cauldron, mini pumpkin, or black spooky cat?
