🎄 Cozy up your Christmas with a gnome you can finish in one sitting!
Meet the Cottage Christmas Gnome: a sturdy, stand-up amigurumi gnome with a fluffy fringe beard, a round little nose, and a hat that bends all by itself. No pipe cleaner, no wire. The secret is the way the increases are placed, and this pattern shows you exactly how.
He’s made from budget-friendly acrylic yarn and scraps you already have, and even the pom-pom is made with a fork from your kitchen drawer. He’s perfect for your mantel, holiday gifts, or your craft fair table.
