This crochet Santa gnome makes a charming Christmas ornament and can also be used as a present topper, an applique, or given as a small gift. Like my other gnomes, this Santa gnome is designed with heart shapes.
The crochet Santa gnome is a modified version of my Valentine’s Day heart gnome design. The Santa gnome features the same heart-shaped beard and body, but the cap has been replaced with a Santa hat.
