Crochet Gnome Pattern

Halloween Gnome Crochet Pattern Free

For those seeking whimsical Halloween décor ideas, look no further than this charming Halloween Gnome Crochet Pattern! Perfect for adding a spooky touch to your home, you can display these delightful gnomes on bookshelves, window sills, or any other spot that could use a festive Halloween vibe. Let these quirky characters bring a touch of Halloween magic to your space, whether you’re hosting a haunted gathering or simply getting into the spirit of the season.

You can use different types of yarn but I recommend a DK or Sport weight. Make sure to use a crochet hook that’s one or two sizes smaller, it makes the fabric a little tighter, so it will hold the stuffing without showing holes.
