Every Santa needs a gnome helper, so this gnome is the second in my “on a mantel” range. Have fun making yours!

Materials needed:

Cream double knit wool
Light grey double-knit wool
Dark grey double-knit wool
Red double-knit wool
Black double-knit cotton (for eyes)
40 g Stuffing (I prefer to use unicurl as stuffing)
No 3.5 crochet hook
Sewing needle
Scissors
Little bell (optional)

I used Charity’s double-knit wool and Raeesahs 100% Pure Cotton, but it’s your own choice. Adjust your hook size according to your choice of wool/cotton. Use 0.5 size smaller than stated on the label to get a tighter tension for smaller holes so that the stuffing doesn’t come through.
