 Gnome Christmas Ornaments 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Gnome Christmas Ornaments are

so silly and cute, they will make you giggle.

 I Just love them, and you will too.

I received so many requests for an easy Gnome

 Christmas Ornament, that I decided to design one.

 I got into my Christmas yarn and had fun. 

Although it is a super easy

 design, it is also super cute! They are sure to bring

 a smile and a giggle from all who see them.

Do They look familiar? 

Gnome For The Holidays Pillow

Crochet Pattern And Video -  LINK

I designed the Gnome Christmas Ornaments to look 

similar to the Gnome Christmas Pillows.

 I shrunk them down so we can hang them on

 our Christmas Trees.

They would also make great gift tags, or place markers. 

As well as, look adorable added to a Christmas Bunting.

There are just so many ways to decorate with The 

Christmas Gnome ornaments.

Get in your yarn stash and choose your favorite colors

 or make them for you friends and family, in their

 favorite colors. Add a button to fit there personalities.

I think this would be a fun friends and family project.

Sweet, fun and big enough to play with.

This Doll is  soft and lovable.

If you start him now, 

he just might be ready for Christmas.

But you will need to have a good imagination 

and a little orneriness to make his 

Christmas Magic come to life!
