CANDLE GNOME

Gnomes and candlelight – that’s gonna make for a cozy home, especially in the darker part of the year. But in summer, too, these little Gnomes will be very pleased if you allow them to make your home even prettier.

The colors are up to you. Whether in classic christmas green and red tones, or neutral in grays – just let your imagination flow.

With this pattern you can make Gnomes in four different sizes. With beard. With braids. Without legs. With legs... Pick what you like. :)

All steps are explained in detail in words and pictures, so this pattern is suitable for (practiced) beginners as well. This pattern contains 23 pages of crochet instructions and 21 pages of detailed step-by-step instructions.

Used techniques (US crochet terms): magic ring, chain, slip stitch, single crochet, increases and (invisible) decreases, crocheting in front loops and back loops – explained, changing yarn-color. The figures are crocheted in continuous rounds/spirals.

With 3.0 mm hook and DK yarn or two strands of sport weight yarn the Gnomes get to be 33, 34, 35 & 36 cm tall (without legs).

You need it smaller or bigger? No problem! Simply use lighter or heavier yarn. Standard-sized LED tealights won’t fit then anymore though.
