Onto the gnome’s head you can attach one or two pumpkins and why not even 3?
The pattern that I used for these crochet pumpkins is – The Easy crochet pumpkin pattern which comes in 3 different sizes.
EASY CROCHET PUMPKIN FREE PATTERN
For those who will make their gnome with only one, you need to follow the instructions for the big-size pumpkin.
To make the gnome with two pumpkins on top you need to follow the instructions for the Big and Medium size pumpkins.
In the pattern, you will also find how to crochet a pumpkin stem and the tendrils. Just follow the same instructions.
How to join your gnome parts:
- Sew the beard onto the body right below the brim.
- Sew the nose on top of the beard. Place it in the center.
- Sew the hands. Leave 3-4 stitches between the beard and hands.
- Sew the big pumpkin onto the head of your gnome. I sew mine only on the ribbed rows skipping the rows between. It will keep the shape of your pumpkin round at the bottom.
- Sew the mini pumpkin on top of your big one. You can place it right in the center or a bit left or right as did I.
- Also, you can also make your gnome using only the big pumpkin.
- Use a safety pin to secure them before sewing. Sew them when you like the placement.
