Growing up, my Swedish mom always had little gnomes hidden throughout the house. These mythical creatures are thought to bring luck, happiness, warmth (and a little bit of mischief) to your home. Today we carry on the tradition with an eclectic assortment of gnomes, including these little guys which are the perfect little trinkets to add to holiday gifts, garlands or trees.
You’ll find the complete YouTube tutorial just below. If written patterns are more your style, the completely free, downloadable pattern is available further down the page.
I hope you enjoy making a few of these for your own home! And I’d love to hear all about your traditions!
