As with my previously designed gnomes (Christmas Gnome, Valentine’s Day Gnome, Bee Gnome, Patriotic Gnome, and St. Patrick’s Day Gnome), the parts of this Halloween Witch Gnome are made from heart-shaped elements.
For my crochet Witch Gnome, I used modified pattern for the Valentine’s Day gnome. I slightly changed the hat design and made curly hair instead of a beard.
To make this Witch Gnome, you will need to crochet a hat, hair, body, and nose, and sew them together. Then embellish the Gnome with Halloween-themed craft buttons.
I made three Witch Gnomes and used different buttons for the embellishment – a Witch with a cauldron, a Witch with a broom, and a Witch with a book of spells (this Witch also has cool shoes!)
I hope you will like my crochet Witch Gnomes and will make one too!

I see edc in abbreveations but not in pattern, & tr in pattern, but not in abbrev. Just pointing it out, it might be confusing to some.
Love the witch, like all your gnomes! I’ve made several of them!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for noticing that! I just edited the list of abbreviations.
You forgot to mention the hair in your yarn list.
