Is it this time of the year when everything becomes spooky and enchanted?
In Bulgaria, we don’t celebrate Halloween and over the years it resulted in fewer crochet patterns regarding this particular holiday. Nevertheless, we have a few that you might like and add to your crochet list.
For example, the mini monster keychains were a big hit. Moreover, we see an increase in sales during the holidays in that pattern.

How to customize your crochet witch gnome?
The possibilities are endless, literally!
You can start by choosing whether you will make your crochet witch gnome with legs or without legs. Afterward, you can play with the colors and change the hair color. For example, it will look stunning with neon pink or yellow curls.
If you want to go for a spookier look you can make your witch green. I suggest you join our Facebook group where you will find endless inspiration from all of the crafters that had already shared their wonderful crochet gnomes.

Overall pattern notes:
The pattern is written in US crochet terms.
The finished size of the witch gnome is 18cm/ 7 inches.
The crochet witch gnome is worked in one piece which means we will start to crochet from the hat and continue to the body.
The pattern is crocheted in continuous rounds. Do not join your rounds.
For this pattern, we used a sport-weight yarn. I suggest you use similar yarn such as DK-weight yarn. You can also use whatever yarn you have in your stash but keep in mind that your gnome will be bigger or smaller depending on the yarn you use.
Here are a few suggestions of the yarn you can use- Yarn Art Jeans, Caron Simply Soft, Stylecraft Special DK, Paintbox Simply DK, Hobbii Cotton 8/4.
When stuffing the body- stuff it well, so it will stay in shape, but don’t overdo it.
