A Nisse (or tomtenisse) is a gnome-like character from Scandanavian folklore. Often mischievous, a nisse usually wears a bright colored, pointy hat, and is associated with the Winter Solstice and Christmas.

These crocheted nisses are a variation on others seen across the internet. A simple make with lots of options for decorating!

Also pictured are knitted versions for which I have a Free Pattern also located on my website. Enjoy!
