How to Crochet a Gnome: Amigurumi for Beginners: Part 1 The Body 

I just recorded part 2 and 3 and plan to upload one a week, so more coming soon.

You are so welcome!

Thanks so much 😊! The second one came out this morning and I plan to continue releasing on a week until the basic gnome is done.

That is wonderful. I just blew my cousins away by showing them my Gandalf Wizard gnome. They are fun little makes.

@@WindingRoadCrochet These are all fun and cute.

Hello Naomia

Glad I could help!

I am so happy you enjoy them. I have several more holiday gnomes that will be released in the upcoming months.

Thank you! I am so glad you think so. I hope to make more soon. I am a little sleep deprived with the new baby.

Glad it was helpful!

i do that too! that was the first thing i learned when crocheting and it’s a life saver

Yes that is the traditional way and it works great. I have used my method and I have never had an issue. Many people struggle with the magic circle and I shared my method with them in a video and 100s of people have told me it was a life changer. I philosophy is to crochet in a way that works best for you. It is a lovely craft and I want as many people as possible to enjoy it.

Wonderful. I am glad you enjoy them.

I have over 30 gnomes on my website. I just released a wizard gnome and I am releasing a with gnome later today.

You are so welcome!

This year I am working on nature themed gnomes. I have made a rose gnome, and butterfly gnome. I will be making a bee gnome at some time.

Row 14 and 15 are black. (I am assuming you are making a Santa gnome.) The whole written pattern is here: www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-santa-gnome-pattern/

Thank you very much for your reply 🙂

I have been making tons of gnome pattern because so many people requested them. I have gnomes for every holiday (but some are not released yet), I have occupational gnomes, and I have a mile long list of other types of gnomes that have been requested from sports to princess to fairies. Hopefully this will be a long series.

My way is different, but it seems to work for most people.

I only have videos for the basic gnome.

www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-santa-gnome-pattern/ I think it is like row 15 and 16 are in a different color for his belt.

Wonderful! Yes my way is different, but it has always worked for me. I am a big believer in doing what works best for you.

You can do it!

I don't have a video on a police gnome, but i have the pattern. Most of the gnomes are 75-90% the same so the videos are still very useful. Here is the link: www.windingroadcrochet.com/crochet-police-gnome-free-crochet-pattern/

It is a simple pattern. You can make the gnome taller, though he is meant to be sitting down and not standing. You can also work extra hat rows to make the hat larger. Just increase by 3 every other row. I am curious, did you use the same color of yarn for the hat and body? One issue I have had is that some saturated color yarns are thicker than the other colors. For example, my gnome bodies in red are too big for a hat in a different color. If you look at the stitch count, the hat should be big enough to lay over the top two rows of the body. Also make sure that you are not closing up the body. It should remain open and the hat will close it up.

You are so welcome!

I am looking into how to do this. I have a friend that is a little more savvy with RU-vid and I am asking how to do this so I can make sure it is auto translating to as many languages as possible.

​@@WindingRoadCrochetIt is from the computer, only the subtitle language is now English automatic translation multi-language, but there is no Turkish in it, you should add a multi-language with Turkish in it, it will be easy for automatic translation

All you have to do is add Turkish to the automatic translation please help please

You are so welcome!

This is a video series. You just need to go to the next video. ru-vid.com/group/PLOCoT7rarh7sXYpuXnCv1rtAjtY80_vzp

I am so happy the patterns help. I am afraid my schedule is booked through the end of the year and I don't currently have a pattern that has a buffalo Bill style hat.

You are welcome 😊 All the gnomes are like 80% the same so you should be able to do them all mostly. Let me know if you ever have issues with the more unique parts of the gnome.

Glad it helped!

I offer two variations of the pattern. The free website pattern is designed to be viewed online with the photos next to the part of the pattern they show. I also offer a premium PDF pattern that is designed to be printed and is available on Etsy or Ravelry.

Here is the link to the whole playlist. ru-vid.com/group/PLOCoT7rarh7sXYpuXnCv1rtAjtY80_vzp

I just have the basic gnome series.

I work my magic ring a different way. I share a tutorial of it on my channel and many people who have trouble doing the traditional magic ring have told me that they are able to do it the same way as me. I get a lot of compliments on it.

That is a great way to do it. I often do that when I can't find a stitch marker.

Yay! Thank you!

Do you mean the Santa gnome or something else? The Santa gnome is just the basic gnome with some color changes.

Have fun!

The body keeps curling? Is it just the base of the body? That might be from working your stitches too tightly.

That is wonderful!

Wonderful!

I have several gnomes on my website with patterns. I only have the videos for the basic gnome. Most gnomes are about 80% the same with just a handful of extra details. www.windingroadcrochet.com/gnome-patterns/

Good luck!

Wonderful

You can find a directory of all the gnome patterns here: www.windingroadcrochet.com/gnome-patterns/ There is a lot of them so you may need to scroll a bit.

I have just one more video in the series to make. I have about 20 gnome patterns now on my blog and they all use most of the same basic parts.

Fantastic! Thank you very much!

The patterns are viewable in their entirety on my website. Here is the link to all the gnome patterns. www.windingroadcrochet.com/gnome-patterns/ The video only covers how to make the basic gnome. It would be the gnome at the very bottom of the page. (Because it is the oldest patterns). For the other gnomes you will need to know how to read the patterns to their unique elements (like the butterfly wings on the butterfly gnome). Most of the basic pieces (body, arms, legs, beard) are made the same for all the gnomes.

I have the video series for the basic gnome on youtube and one my website I have 50+ different gnomes. I have sports gnomes, holiday gnomes, and nature inspired gnomes. Oh and essential worker gnomes.

You are very welcome.

Hello Rose

I am just doing a basic gnome tutorial. I believe the spring gnome you are referring to is the basic gnome with flowers or mushroom spots on his/her hat.

@@WindingRoadCrochet thank you so much! ❤

You will want to check out the other episodes in the series. I believe I made 5 parts total to this series.

Thanks! I have been considering adding to the series.

Wonderful I plan to get more videos for the series recorded this weekend.

Thanks

Thanks

Awesome! Thank you!

He is one of my favorites. I just added a little pot of gold to his pattern.

That is wonderful.

Hello Gabbing

There is a pattern for one on my website, but it does not have a video. I actually have 50+ gnome patterns on my website.

@@WindingRoadCrochet do you have any gnomes with hats that are shaped like ball caps?

If the hat on the gnome is straight up then they normally turn out about 7 inches tall if you gauge matches mine. There may be some slight variation depending on if you crochet tight or loose.

thanks

You're welcome 😊

Everyone has their preference. There are written patterns for all of these gnomes, you can find them here: www.windingroadcrochet.com/gnome-patterns/ I think there is close to 30 different styles of gnomes now.

Thank you very much. just have to finish big dreamcatcher then to gnomes,

There is a link in the description box that takes you to the playlist with the entire series.

You are so welcome!

No problem!!

@@WindingRoadCrochet Can this pattern also be used to make a pilgrim gnome?

You can turn on the closed captions and change them to many different languages in the settings.

@@WindingRoadCrochet Nein, ist nur als Englisch angegeben, keine verschiedene sprachen möglich :( schade. Bye

You are so welcome!

It is unfortunate that it did not help you. Others have told me the exact opposite and have been able to complete the gnomes. Everyone's needs are different.

You can always move down a hook size. I use a size E (3.5 mm) hook but a lot of people use even smaller.

So glad!
