This charming garden gnome is a delightful companion for your windowsill, bookshelf or garden table. With its pointy hat, chubby cheeks, and fluffy beard, it adds instant cheer to your space. The gnome is crocheted in separate pieces using the amigurumi technique and then sewn together. A fun and satisfying project for any season – and especially perfect for spring and summer!
