Franklin The Christmas Gnome

"Meet Franklin. Quite possibly the cutest thing you’ll have on your hook this season. There is so much to love about this cute crochet gnome. He’s oh so fun to make. He’s got no facial features to mess around with. Well, other than that adorable crochet ball of a nose. He’s perfectly proportioned for your favorite shelf. And can we just talk about that adorable hat snuggled down over everything? Is it not just the cutest? Let’s talk how this darling Christmas Crochet Gnome comes together. First you crochet his body which is basically like a giant crochet egg because crochet gnomes don’t have a traditional head. I used a contrasting gray body color but you could go with the same color as his hat for a more traditional look. Then you crochet 2 easy arms that have just a wee bit of stuffing in the hands, making the arms super easy to attach to the top of the body. The nose is just a simple small crochet ball. And the hat is an elongated style for that gradual triangle shape. The you put it all together, using purchased fur fabric for the beard. Fun, fast and beautiful for the season!"
