Isn’t this a beauty? I didn’t figure out by looking at it that it is made of granny squares! An optical illusion.
I also like the color choices. The designer doesn’t recall which yarn she used, but I think this colorway exists in RH and other readily available brands.
This is her first pattern – and I think she did a great job. Hope others will find it as attractive as I do.
If you’re looking for an adorable way to bring a handmade touch to your Christmas decor, the Christmas Gnomes Crochet Pattern from LucyMagicPattern is an absolute gem. This pattern includes a variety of charming holiday gnomes—from Santa and Mrs. Claus to reindeer and festive bells—all perfectly sized to add personality to your Christmas tree or garland.
The pattern is thoughtfully crafted, featuring clear instructions and numerous step-by-step photos, making it accessible even for beginners. At around 4 inches tall, these mini gnomes are the perfect size for tree ornaments or small gifts. I especially loved adding my personal touch to Mrs. Claus’ apron using a sparkly yarn, which added a festive flair without extra embroidery.
With its delightful details and easy-to-follow format, this crochet pattern is a joy to work on and creates ornaments that friends and family will love receiving. If you’re after a fun, creative holiday project, this one’s highly recommended!
Great twist on granny squares. I love how versatile they are even though so many people don’t realize it!
Would love to have the pattern.
