Pumpkin Gnome Free Crochet Pattern

FREE Crochet Halloween Pumpkin Gnome Pattern

If you’re looking for enjoyable Halloween decor crochet design, this Pumpkin Gnome Free Crochet Pattern is the answer. You can place it on bookshelves, window sills and other spaces you need a Halloween theme.

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.

Materials

What did I use?

Schachenmayr Catania, sport weight yarn, 100% Cotton, 1.76 ounces = 137 yards/50 grams = 125 meters.

Colors: 00281 (orange for body), 00403 (light yellow for hat), 00130 (white for beard), 00263 (skin for arms and nose), 00161 (brown for hat), 00252 (red for flower), 00205 (green for leaves)
