Christmas is around the corner but you still have time to make this Santa gnome to go with your Christmas Décor.
This crochet gnome works up quickly and with a couple of colour changes you can have a whole bunch of them in your living room or on your craft market table.
For this crochet gnome, I used Elle yarns: Pure Gold DK in the colours Red/porcelain/papaya/black.
I got the yarn from a local shop here in South Africa: Bibi’s Wool Center
You will need about 60g in total to create this now. Once done this crochet gnome will be 19cm tall.
