Crocheted Gnome With A Perfect Tall Striped Hat
Have a Lovely Day!
Today, I bring you a pattern for a super popular crocheted gnome. This little gnome or dwarf is simple to make and perfect for beginners!
The gnome is crafted from several parts that are crocheted and sewn together. The main piece combines the head, body, and hat, while additional parts include the arms, nose, and beard. You can personalize the hat with decorations like bows, snowflakes, flowers, bells, or even hearts.
I love creating gnomes in a variety of colors, with hats of different styles, sizes, and embellishments. This particular gnome is crocheted with Samet Soft Fine yarn, making it quick and easy to complete!
Everything is explained in the video tutorial, so you can decide on your own style and approach.
Crocheting this gnome is such a fun project! You can choose coordinating colors, use leftover yarn, or work with your favorite toy-making yarns.
Enjoy the process of selecting colors, crocheting, and gifting your loved ones!
Hooray! It’s done! This adorable crocheted gnome is here to spread joy—perfect as a toy or a delightful decoration!
I believe this little wonder will bring smiles to anyone’s face, whether gifted to your children, grandchildren, or as a thoughtful present for a friend or loved one.
Excitement and happiness are guaranteed—this gnome is ready to add a touch of magic to your days!

https://www.vlnika.cz/z23925-prize-samet-soft-fine
Samet Soft Fine: 1 skein = 100 % polyester, 100g / 100 m
4.5 mm crochet hook
Scissors
Stuffings
Sewing/Embroidery and yarn needle/tapestry needle for sewing pieces together and weaving in ends
Markers
Pins
Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners
US crochet terms:
SlSt – slip stitch
CH/s – chain/s
SC - single crochet
HDC - half double crochet
SK - skip
T - turn
ST/s - stitch(es)
REP – repeat
SC2TOG = 2 single crochets together
Special stitches used:
Single Crochet Decrease (sc2tog)
A crochet decrease makes the current row or round that you are working on shorter than the one previous to it.
1. Insert hook into the first stitch.
2. Yarn over and draw through the loop.
3. Do not complete the stitch as normal.
4. Instead, insert the hook into the next stitch.
5. Yarn over and draw through the loop.
6. There should now be three loops on your hook
7. Yarn over and draw through all three loops on the hook
8. You should now have two single crochet stitches side-by-side, joined together into one stitch at the top.
This pattern requires familiarity with stitches used, attaching yarn, sewing parts together with a sewing needle.
CROCHETED GNOME WITH A PERFECT TALL STRIPED HAT
1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch
2) Magic ring = the starting point for crocheting in a spiral. Use which ever method you prefer.
3) Continuous rounds - HEAD + BODY, HAT, HANDS AND NOSE parts are worked up in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.
4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.
5) This CROCHETED GNOME WITH A PERFECT TALL STRIPED HAT Amigurumi measures:
22 cm / 8.6 inch tall
15 cm / 5.9 inch wide
The finished size will depend on what yarn you use, as well as your tension and hook (as with any amigurumi).
6) You can make the CROCHETED GNOME WITH A PERFECT TALL STRIPED Amigurumi bigger with a thicker yarn or a larger hook size.
7) There is some sewing: you will sew the hands on the body, the beard and the nose on the head. This is easy to do, there are no tricks.

STUFFING
The exact moment for starting filling and stuffing the toy depends on every single person. I prefer filling the toy with the work almost finished. It’s a bit more difficult to fill, but more comfortable to crochet. You should make proofs until finding the more suitable moment of filling for you.
Stuff head and body firmly and full. Shape as you stuff, make sure to shape the nose too.
Use a stuffing stick or the back end of a pencil to push the stuffing into the right spots
