Fall Gnomes Free Crochet Pattern
Fall is almost here, and I couldn't help but designing a super cute season inspired project! Let me introduce you to my latest cozy creation: the Fall Gnomes!
These little guys are the ultimate seasonal decor project. They feature, adorable hats and full, textured yarn beards that bring so much personality to your fall setup.
To celebrate the coming season, the pattern is available for free right here on the blog! You’ll find the step-by-step instructions to crochet the gnome body, and the pumpkin shaped hat.
If you want to whole full set, the complete 2-in-1 Fall Gnomes Pattern is available as a printable, ad-free PDF in my design shop. The paid shop version includes both hat options - so you can make both the pumpkin and acorn variations - along with expanded step-by-step photos to guide you through every detail!
