This gnome family not only looks cute, it’s also extremely useful. For example, small items like buttons fit inside. They also make great egg cozies. Children are sure to have lots of ideas for what to hide in them.

At my house, they store small needlework supplies. And in the gnome house, which is also available with them, I store leftover yarn. There’s room in the front door, for example, for crochet hooks. This house is also a highlight on the breakfast table as a bread roll basket.

The house / utensil basket as well as the gnomes are very easy to crochet and suitable for beginners. Basic knowledge should be present.
