Gnome Ornament – Free Crochet Pattern
The Gnome Ornament is great stash buster and a fun way to add some holiday cheer to your home. This is a quick pattern to whip up in everyone’s favorite corner-to-corner technique and it uses small amounts of yarn. This little guy would make a great gift, a bunting, or looks great hanging on your tree too. I hope you will give this a try. Scroll down for the free crochet pattern.

The yarn is by Yarnspirations, called Red Heart With Love Metallic in the color White, Red Heart in the color Buff, and Caron One Pound in the color Scarlet. Stitches used are (C2C) double crochet corner-to-corner, and the single crochet stitch. This easy pattern is really fun to make.
This quick project is part of the Celebrate The Holidays with Nicki’s Homemade Crafts! I’m so excited to be part of her event and I’m glad you’re here.
Here is the nose, made in only three quick rounds.
Attach it to the center of the hat by doing a whip stitch. I sewed it to the three stitches of the center cluster.
