A crochet Christmas gnome is the sweetest way to bring a little handmade warmth into your holiday decor. His red hat and white pom pom look classic with greenery, twinkle lights, and your favorite neutral Christmas touches.

He’s an easy make, even if you’re new to gnomes. He’s just as fun to give as he is to keep, so you may find yourself making a few for the people on your list and one for your own mantel.
