You’ve heard of Santa’s elves, and you know of their work on all the toys in Santa’s workshop, but have you heard of The Christmas Gnome?

Read a fun story here about the Christmas Gnome, and enjoy this free pattern for making your child their own Christmas gnome toy OR ornament!

This pattern can be made with or without the beard, with or without the eyes, and big or little, by simply switching up the yarn and hook!

And it’s REALLY easy! There is absolutely NO sewing, aside from weaving in your ends. The whole gnome is made in one piece, making a great last minute gift!
