Over the last couple of years, crochet Christmas Gnomes have become a very popular piece of holiday decor. During the Christmas season, you can see all kinds of gnomes everywhere!
Following this trend, I decided to create my own version of the Gnome using a heart-shaped theme. The hat, beard, and body are made in the shape of hearts.
This Christmas Gnome crochet pattern is the newest addition to my pattern collection that uses hearts as a key design element.

The Christmas Gnome tradition originated in Scandinavia. Like Santa Clause, the gnome visits the homes of good children on Christmas Eve and brings them presents.
So, if you want to add some Nordic magic to your holiday home decor, make your own Christmas gnome!
This crochet heart Gnome will make a cute ornament for your Christmas tree or can be used to embellish a handmade Christmas card. You can also crochet a bunch of them and make a Gnome Christmas Garland!
Here are some other crochet gnomes you may like: Crochet Valentine’s Day Gnome, Crochet Witch Gnome, Crochet Graduation Gnome, Crochet Fishing Gnome, Crochet Patriotic Gnome, and Crochet Bee Gnome.
All my heart gnome designs can be found on this website in the post Crochet Gnome Collection and under the tag Gnome.
