Today, the new daily crochet pattern Amigurumi Christmas Gnome Free Crochet Pattern, I want to give you some information about this pattern;

YARN:
I prefer using a blend of cotton and acrylic fiber yarn / Sport / Fine yarn. A length yarn used for this pattern is about 160m (174 yds) per 50g. With this yarn I used a crochet hook 2.5mm.
If you are going to use another yarn you need to grab a crochet hook that suitable for your yarn and gauge/tension should be tight enough so the toy stuffing doesn’t show up through the crocheted fabric.

TOOLS
Crochet Hook 2.5mm
Stitch markers x3
Sewing needle

GAUGE/TENSION:
Rd 1 6SC in magic ring [6]
Rd 2 INC in each st around [12]
Rd 3 (SC in next st, INC in next st)fromrep x6 [18]
Rd 4 (SC in next st, INC in next st, SC in next st)fromrep x6 [24]
Rd 5 (SC in next 3sts, INC in next st)fromrep x6 [30]
Rd 6 (SC in next 2sts, INC in next st, SC in next 2sts)fromrep x6
Size: Ø4.5-5cm. If you use different yarn, remember that your crocheted fabric should be tight enough, so a filler doesn’t show through stitches. [36]

OTHER MATERIALS
Stuffing approx. 50g
Optional: x6 green and red beads Ø8mm

ABBREVIATIONS
St(s) Stitch/es

SC2tog Single crochet two together: Insert hook into stitch and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next stitch and draw up a loop. Yarn over,
draw through all 3 loops on hook.
hdc2tog Half double crochet 2 stitches together
Surface place a thread behind the fabric, insert hook into the crocheted
slip fabric from the front to the back and grab yarn on hook, pull a
stich loop through to the front. Insert hook from front to back and pull a loop to the front side and through the loop on the front of the fabric to create a surface slipped stitch.

TIPS before you start
Single Crochet “V” and “X”
The typical method to make a single crochet is to insert your hook into a stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops. This method makes a ‘V’ stitch. – Used for the large gnome made with a chenille yarn.
The other lesser-known method to make a single crochet is to insert your hook into a stitch, yarn under, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops. This method makes an ‘X’ stitch.
Please, note that I use SC “x”. – Used for the small gnome made with a regular (cotton/acrylic) yarn.

LIFEHACK:
You can use this crocheted item as a door stop.
Make a small fabric bag (a size 10cm x 15cm or so) (as well you can use a finished small pouch bag and stitch along an opening when a bag is filled with some filler)
Fill with Pebbles, cat litter, washed sand, rice or beans (food may attract insects). When you have done a first round with decrease at a bottom of each gnome you can put the bag inside along with the rest of the filler and continue crocheting closing the bottom.

You can use a chenille yarn for this project. I used Himalaya Dolphin Baby and YarnArt Dolce yarns from my stash with the crochet hook 4mm (you can use even 4.5-5mm). This yarn is 120meters/131yds in 100g/3.52oz.
The side of this finished gnome is 50cm/20in tall, and Ø is 60cm/24in.
I had 1 ball of each color and I have done it without a beard and arms, and it turned out super cool like a big pillow. I used crocheted balls to decorate the hat instead of wooden beads (the nose pattern is used to make the green balls (x2), for the red balls see pattern below). To make the nose for the large gnome
I used the required yarn as for the small gnome but in double strands with a crochet hook size 4mm.
Stuffing for the large gnome: approx. 200g
