Nipsy Gnome: A Jolly XL Crochet Gnome Pattern

3. Nose & Arms

• Nose: Increase to 9 sc, then decrease to a point. Stuff and sew onto face.
• Arms: Work in Color F (toffee), then add Color A (blue) cuffs. Stuff lightly.

4. Beard (Fluffy & Luxe)

• Chain 4, then double crochet rows to create a triangular shape. Sew under the hat’s brim.

5. Pompom (Optional but Adorable)

• Work increases to 24 sc, then decrease. Sew to the tip of the hat

Assembly: Bring Your Gnome to Life

1. Attach Hat: Sew to the top of the body, letting it slouch to one side.
2. Add Beard: Position under the hat’s edge, slightly overlapping the body.
3. Sew Nose: Center it over the beard’s top edge.
4. Attach Arms: Place at the sides, angled slightly forward for a friendly pose

Tips for Success

• Mark Your Rounds: Use stitch markers to track the start of each spiral round.
• Stuff as You Go: Fill limbs lightly before closing to avoid lumps.
• Play with Colors: Swap yarns to match your decor (e.g., red/green for Christmas)
