If you’d like to pick up a good Gnome book to refer to for patterns, instead of these online patterns, I did review a pattern book from Annie’s Craft Store recently (8 Fun and Festive Crochet Gnome Patterns). This book includes amigurumi patterns for Gnomes for different seasons of the year. Patterns included are: Easter Gnome, Valentine’s Gnome, Halloween Gnome (witch), Christmas Gnome and a Fall Harvest Gnome.
A couple years ago I reviewed a fun cross stitch book (35 Properly Naughty Patterns) and some naughty gnomes are featured in it too.
I hope you enjoyed exploring this enchanting collection of crochet gnome patterns. Whether you’re crafting for the holidays or adding a touch of magic to your everyday decor, these gnomes are sure to delight. Be sure to check out the video tutorials for additional help and inspiration. Happy crocheting!
He is one of my favorite Gnomes!! I’m happy to hear he turned out so well 🙂
I made the Epic Wizard Gnome and he is so cute.
I love these gnomes! We have garden gnomes outside, and I want to make a variety for inside, too. As my husband loves minions, I really want to create a minion gnome! Unless you’d like to create the pattern instead?
I love gnomes, but I have to make any because something else just as cute needs to be made first. These are all so cute but I think my favorite is the Tiny Nordic Gnomes and my 2nd place is Scandinavian Santa Gnome.
Wonderful gnome collection! I am inspired to crochet a gnome even though Christmas has just passed. Thank you!
Hi Jackie, When you click the ‘read more’ button beneath the Epic Gnome Description in my post it will take you to Lindsey’s post where the entire pattern is available. If you are purchasing her ad-free pdf though I believe that is through her Etsy Shop and it would require that you purchase it. She doesn’t seem to have a download available for a free version. I do not offer downloads on my site either. I suggest you try visiting her link directly: https://www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-wizard-gnome-free-pattern/ or use printfriendly here: https://www.printfriendly.com/ and paste her link in the url spot there to create your downloadable/printable pattern. Then you can click on things you want to remove and resize images and text, etc. Hope this helps! Rhondda
Trying to download the Epic Wizard Gnome, but it only goes so far then stops. Can you help please
