Girl Gnome

The Crochet Girl Gnome is the perfect pattern to compliment any gnome collection. She looks adorable in either her floppy-brimmed hat rolled up in the front to reveal her adorable round button-like nose or her more pointed hat. The heart, flower, and clover options for accessorizing her hat make her perfect not only for Valentine's Day, Saint Patrick's Day, and Spring decor, but customizable for any occasion. The Crochet Girl Gnome is excellent for gifts, gnome lovers and collectors, imaginative play, Valentine’s Day, Saint Patrick's Day, Spring decor, and more.
