It’s time to start having some fun for Halloween! This gnome decided to dress up as a witch! How cute lol 🙂 I even added a wart to his nose! This pattern is perfect for a Halloween decoration. For a cool display piece, try adding some LED string lights around him!

We will start by making the hat from the tip down. We will then crochet the body. The body is worked into the hat by working in the back loop only of the hat. After this we will make the beard, nose, and arms.
Let’s get started!

Hat:

Start in Black

Round 1: 6 Sc into a Magic Ring (6)
Round 2-3: *Sc* all around (6)
Round 4: *Inc, Sc in the next st* all around (9)
Round 5-6: *Sc* all around (9)

Round 23-27: *Sc* all around (42)
Round 28-30: Change to Purple. *Sc* all around (42)
In the next round we will be working in the front loop only. This will leave a back loop, which we will later attach our hook into the back loop to from the gnome’s body.
Round 31: Working in the Front Loop Only (FLO) *Sc* all around (42)
Round 32-33: Working in BOTH loops, *Sc* all around (42)
Round 34: Repeat *Inc, Sc in the next 6 st* all around (48)
Round 35: Repeat *Inc, Sc in the next 7 st* all around (54)
Finish off the hat now. Weave in ends, cutting any excess yarn.

Body:

Start in Black

The photos show the gnome being made in other colors. I used these pictures so you can see the loops easier! Black yarn is difficult to see 🙂

Round 1: Now we will work in the back loops we left in Round 31. Flip the hat’s brim outwards, and you will see a ridge of stitches (Pic 1). These are the back loop stitches. Insert your hook into any one of these loops (Pic 2).

1. 2.

Yarn over with red yarn (Pic 3), and pull the yarn through (Pic 4-5). Ch 1. Sc in the next 41 st (Pic 6) (42)

Round 20: *Dec, Sc in the next 6 st* all around (42)
Round 21: *Dec, Sc in the next 5 st* all around (36)
Stuff the hat now. I don’t stuff the very top tip of the hat because it allows you to move the tip around to look bent.
Round 22: *Dec, Sc in the next 4 st* all around (30)
Round 23: *Dec, Sc in the next 3 st* all around (24)
Stuff the body now. Continue stuffing after each round.

Round 4-6: *Sc* all around (18)
Round 7: *Dec, Sc in the next st* all around (12)
Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff the nose firmly now. Pin the nose on as shown and sew on.

How to Make a Popcorn Stitch

Take hook out of current stitch and place into the first Dc made (Pic 3).

Now also put hook into the current working loop (Pic 4).

Beard:

Start in White

Cut 30 pieces of 9″ fuzzy yarn. You may cut less strands if you’re using thicker yarn than mine, see Pic 1 for size reference. Flip the brim of the hat up as shown (Pic 2). Insert your hook into Round 3 of the body (Pic 2). Fold the fuzzy yarn in half, and place the yarn onto your hook (Pic 3). Pull the yarn through (Pic 4-5). Yarn over with the yarn (Pic 6). Pull the strands through the loop (Pic 7). Done! (Pic 8).

Broom:

If you cannot find a small toy broom in your craft store, you can make your own. I took a stick and some pine needles. I broke the pine needles in half, laid them around the stick. Then I tied yarn around the needles to secure.

All done! I hope you had fun with this pattern 🙂 If you made this gnome, share a picture with me! Post a picture in the comments underneath this post 🙂
