Balloon Gnome Crochet Pattern – Christmas Gnome Wreath (EN & DE)

IMPORTANT: You are buying a PDF crochet pattern, NOT the finished wreath.

This pattern is included in English AND German – both PDF versions are part of the download.

A festive balloon gnome in a wreath: the little gnome with a long dark-blue pointy hat and a fluffy white beard leans into a wreath (approx. 30 cm) made of crocheted balloons and baubles in different shades of blue. With the little stars a Christmas dream – without them lovely décor all year round.

Required skills: chain, single crochet, slip stitch, magic ring, increase and decrease.

The pattern is a detailed step-by-step PDF with lots of photos. Every round/row is written out individually, with stitch counts.

Skill level: intermediate – several small pieces (hat, body, beard, feet, hands, baubles) plus gluing and sewing when assembling the wreath.

Finished wreath: approx. 30 cm across plus the hanger. Gauge: 26 stitches × 24 rows = 10 × 10 cm / 4 × 4 in (2.5 mm hook). Yarn used: Schachenmayr Catania.
