Bring a touch of handmade charm to your holiday season with the Merry Christmas Gnome crochet pattern. Whether you’re decorating your home, gifting something special, or crafting for a holiday market, this whimsical gnome adds festive fun wherever he goes.
With his fluffy beard, cheerful hat, and cozy design, he’s the perfect crochet companion for winter decorating.
This beginner-friendly amigurumi pattern is simple to follow and quick to work up. You’ll use bulky weight (5) yarn for most of the body, along with worsted weight yarn for the smaller features like the nose and beard.

The pattern calls for a size J (6.0mm) crochet hook for the gnome’s body and an H (5.0mm) hook for the finer details. Fiber-fill stuffing gives your gnome his adorable plump shape, while a comb is used to fluff the beard for extra personality.
Customize your gnome with playful details to make him truly your own. Add a pom pom or faux fur trim to the hat, buttons down the front, or even a bell to give him jingle.
The pattern includes suggestions for personalizing your project so you can make a whole family of gnomes with different colors and accessories.
Whether perched on a mantel, tucked into a wreath, or wrapped up as a heartfelt handmade gift, the Merry Christmas Gnome is a joyful addition to any holiday celebration. It’s a relaxing, creative project that brings festive spirit and a big smile to anyone who sees it. Gather your yarn and hooks.
It’s time to crochet a little magic this Christmas.
