I’ve chosen patterns that vary in difficulty from simple designs suitable for beginners to more intricate patterns for experienced crocheters. You’ll find a gonk pattern here that’s just right for you.
Materials
To crochet a gnome, you’ll need a few basic materials to get started. The gnome crochet pattern you choose will have the specifics however, here’s a list of common materials so you can be prepared for the costs involved:
- Yarn: Yarn is the main material used to crochet the gnome’s body, hat, and other accessories. You can choose any colour and type of yarn you prefer, depending on the look you want to achieve. Common types of yarn used for crochet gnomes include acrylic, cotton, and wool blends (you might have suitable yarn already leftover from previous projects)
- Crochet Hooks: The size of the hook you use will determine the gauge and size of your gnome. The specific hook size you need will depend on the yarn you choose and the desired size of your gnome. Hook sizes are usually indicated on the yarn label.
- Filling: To stuff the gnome’s body and hat, you’ll need filling material. Polyester fiberfill is commonly used for amigurumi projects like crochet gnomes. It provides a soft and pliable texture, giving your gnome a nice shape.
- Embroidery Floss or Yarn: For creating the gnome’s beard, you’ll need some type of yarn or embroidery floss that closely matches the colour of the gnome’s hair. You can also choose a different colour for a whimsical effect.
- Buttons, Beads, or Felt: These materials can be used for embellishing the gnome’s hat or for creating facial features like eyes and nose. Small buttons or beads work well for eyes, while felt can be used to cut out shapes for the nose.
- Tapestry Needle: A tapestry needle with a large eye is essential for sewing different parts of the gnome together and for weaving in loose ends of yarn.
- Scissors: A pair of sharp scissors will be handy for cutting yarn, trimming threads, and shaping the gnome’s beard.
- Stitch Markers: Stitch markers are useful for keeping track of the beginning of rounds and important points in your crochet pattern.
- Optional Accessories: additional accessories include things like scarves, mittens, or small props like mushrooms or lanterns. These can add extra charm and character to your finished gnome.
Tips for Crocheting your Gnome
I think you’ll agree with me that amigurumi projects can be can be quite fiddly! Here are my 10 helpful tips for beginners:
- Start with Simple Patterns: Choose beginner-friendly crochet gnome patterns that have clear instructions and minimal complex details. As you gain confidence, you can gradually move on to more intricate designs.
- Practice Basic Stitches: Make sure you’re comfortable with basic crochet stitches like single crochet (sc), increase (inc), and decrease (dec) before attempting a gnome. Practice these stitches on small swatches if needed.
- Gauge and Tension: Pay attention to your tension – consistent tension ensures that your stitches are even. Follow the recommended gauge in the pattern to ensure your gnome turns out the right size.
- Use Stitch Markers: Stitch markers can help you keep track of the beginning of rounds and important stitch counts. They’re especially useful in amigurumi projects with many rounds.
- Read the Pattern Carefully: Thoroughly read through the pattern before you start. Familiarize yourself with the abbreviations and special techniques mentioned in the pattern.
- Watch Video Tutorials: Visual learning can be very helpful. Watch video tutorials that demonstrate the specific techniques used in the pattern, such as magic ring, increases, and decreases.
- Take Breaks: Crocheting small pieces for amigurumi can be intricate work. Take regular breaks to avoid straining your hands and eyes.
- Count Your Stitches: Count your stitches at the end of each round to ensure you haven’t accidentally skipped or added any stitches. Mistakes can quickly accumulate if not caught early.
- Practice Seaming and Assembly: Learning how to sew different parts together neatly is important for creating a polished finished product. Practice seaming and attaching parts before assembling your gnome.
- Experiment with Colours: Have fun choosing colours that resonate with you. Experiment with different colour combinations for the gnome’s body, hat, and accessories.

13. Gnome Crochet Pillow
This cute gnome is worked using the intarsia technique. Similar to tapestry crochet, instead of carrying the unworked yarn along the back of your work, the yarn is dropped and picked up again when needed.
The pillow pattern is worked in two separate panels. Front and back are joined by partially closing the outside seam on three sides, inserting the pillow form, and then continuing to close the seam.
You’ll be working from a graph (with minimal written instructions) and need to know how to change colour.
Supplies needed:

- 1 skein Lion Brand Hometown – Miami Seafoam
- 1 skein Lion Brand Hometown – Madison Mustard
- 9.00 mm crochet hook

- Tapestry needle
The back of the pillow is polka dots. I think this gives a fun twist. If you wanted to though, you could crochet the back in single crochet in a block of colour.
Choose whether you display the gnome or the polka dots. Swap which side faces out to keep it fresh!

The design of gnome in this pattern matches the pillow above and I think make the perfect set!

All the patterns I’ve shared so far use worsted/aran or dk weight yarn. These adorable gnomes are crocheted with sport/fine weight which will give fab stitch definition.
19. Scandinavian Santa Gnome Amigurumi
I’ve chosen this free crochet gnome pattern because his stuffing is a little different.
As well as the usual polyfil, there’s a pouch of dry, uncooked rice (the pouch has been made with the foot of a pair of old nylon stockings). After lightly stuffing the body piece, the designer has added the rice pouch and then filled the rest of the body with the polyfill fiber.
The body still feels soft but has the extra weight that gives him structure so that he’s not floppy and can sit still. I love this idea!
You’ll need:
- 1 skein of Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in White (100g/3.5oz, 170yds/156m, 4 Medium)
- 1 skein of Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Red

- (Optional) rice or pellet stuffed pouch
- stitch marker
- tapestry needle
- scissors
- polyfill stuffing
Finished measurements approximately 15 inches tall.

Personalize the Character of your Gnome with Design Elements
You probably already know … but I’m going to state it here that crochet gnomes usually consist of a round or cylindrical body and a conical hat. They often have long, bushy beards made by unraveling the yarn strands. Gonks can also be embellished with buttons, felt, embroidery, and other materials to add personality and charm.
Here’s more information about the key design elements:
Body
The body of a crochet gnome is typically a round or cylindrical shape. This forms the base of the gnome’s figure. The body is often stuffed with filling material to give it a three-dimensional form.
Hat
The gnome’s hat is one of the most iconic features. It’s usually conical and extends from the top of the gnome’s head. The hat can be longer or shorter, depending on the style you’re aiming for. The hat is often made in a different colour than the body for contrast.
Beard
The beard is a defining feature of a crochet gnome. It’s made using yarn or embroidery floss and is attached to the front of the gnome’s body, just below the hat. The beard can be long and bushy or shorter, depending on the desired effect.
Braids
Braids are usually attached to the sides of the gnome’s head, just below the hat. You can sew them in place securely, ensuring that they won’t easily come loose. The braids can be decorated with small ribbons, bows, or beads to the ends of the braids to add extra flair.
Face
The gnome’s eyes and mouth are usually hidden. The nose can be a pom pom or crocheted and sewn on.
Arms, Hands and Legs
Depending on the design, some crochet gnomes may have arms and hands. These are typically short and simple, attached to the sides of the body. They can be bent or posed in different ways to add personality to the gnome. If the gnome has legs they can be short or long.
Accessories
Accessories can add extra charm and character to your crochet gnome. These can include miniature hats, scarves, mittens, belts, boots, lanterns, mushrooms, and more. Accessories provide an opportunity to personalize each gnome and make it unique.
Embroidery
Embroidery techniques can be used to add extra details and embellishments to the gnome’s clothing or other parts. For instance, you might use embroidery stitches to create the appearance of stitched clothing lines, patterns, or texture on the hat or body.
Colour Choices
The choice of colours for the gnome’s body, hat, beard, and other elements can greatly impact its overall appearance. Traditional earthy tones like red, green, and gray are often used, but you can get creative with your colour combinations.
Proportions and Features
Gnomes can have various proportions and features to create different looks. Some gnomes might have longer bodies and shorter hats, while others might have larger noses or different facial expressions.
Pose and Stance
The way the gnome’s body is shaped and positioned can convey different emotions and personalities. Some gnomes might be standing tall and proud, while others could be slightly leaning or sitting.
The design elements you choose will ultimately define the character of your crochet gnome. Whether you’re following a specific pattern or creating your own design, experiment with these elements to craft gnomes that match your creative ideas.
Variations of the Classic Crochet Gnome
While the classic gnome design is typically a bearded elderly man with a pointed hat, designers have put a creative twist on this concept.
Incredibly versatile, there are many different variations you can explore to give each gnome a unique and distinctive look.
Here are some popular variations of crochet gonks:
- Seasonal Gnomes: These gnomes are designed to fit different seasons and holidays. You can create gnomes with hats and outfits inspired by holidays like Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and more. For example, a Christmas gnome might have a Santa hat and a scarf, while a Halloween gnome could wear a witch’s hat and a spooky outfit.
- Animal Gnomes: These gnomes have animal-inspired features. You can create gnomes with ears, tails, and facial features that resemble various animals, such as rabbits, bears, foxes, and more.
- Fantasy Gnomes: These gnomes might have whimsical hats, magical staffs, and other fantastical accessories that evoke a sense of magic and enchantment.
- Gender and Age Variations: Gnomes can be crafted to represent different genders and ages. You can make young gnomes with smaller bodies and shorter beards, or create female gnomes with feminine features and clothing.
- Occupation Gnomes: Can be designed to resemble specific professions or hobbies. For instance, you could make a gardener gnome with a hat adorned with flowers, or a chef gnome wearing a miniature apron.
- Couples or Family Gnomes: Create gnomes that come in sets, such as gnome couples or gnome families. These gnomes can have variations in size, facial expressions, and clothing to reflect their relationships.
- Sports or Hobby Gnomes: Showcase a particular sport or hobby. This could be a gnome dressed in sports attire or one with accessories related to a specific hobby like fishing, reading, or painting.
- Ethnic and Cultural Gnomes: Customize your gnomes to represent various ethnicities and cultures by using different colours and clothing styles inspired by different regions of the world.
- Fairy Tale Gnomes: Design gnomes inspired by popular fairy tales and folklore. These gnomes could be reminiscent of characters from stories like “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” or “The Three Billy Goats Gruff.”
- Modern or Trendy Gnomes: Put a modern spin on the traditional gnome design by incorporating trendy elements, such as modern clothing, hairstyles, or even pop culture references.
- Season-Inspired Gnomes: Crochet gnomes that reflect the different seasons of the year. For example, a spring gnome might have a flower-adorned hat, while a winter gnome could be dressed in cozy knitwear.
- Miniature Gnomes: Explore making miniature versions of gnomes that can be used as keychains, ornaments, or desk decorations.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to crochet gnome variations. You can mix and match different design elements, accessories, and themes to create gnomes that are uniquely your own.
