Anniversary gnome- the Groom gnome
Last month we shared the June bride gnome pattern with you and it is time for the groom to appear.
That adorable couple will make a unique gift for your friend’s wedding or your parent’s anniversary. You can easily customize them to fit the decorations or the venue itself.
How to customize your anniversary gnome?
This year we started a crochet gnome along and we share with you a new gnome pattern each month.
When I design a new gnome pattern I try to add something new. Whether it is a new stitch or a new crochet technique that will help you level up your crochet.
In this pattern, I will show you how to crochet a jacket. Yes, yes. The groom’s jacket is removable and you can crochet it for your other dolls as well.
How to make your your gnome unique?
First, use the colors that you think will fit the occasion. Change the tuxedo’s colors. Use the same colors for the hat’s belt and the flower that you used in the bride’s gnome’s dress.
You can also join our Facebook group and get inspired by all the creative gnomes made by some of our fellow crocheters.
