A small sitting blue gnome with a big folded white hat, white trousers, round ears, a round nose and big oval feet with movable legs, worked in single crochet in the round. The body changes from white to blue; the hat gets its floppy shape from two folds crocheted in as you go.

Design: Loopy Panda

Designed, crocheted and photographed by our maker. Every round's stitch count is checked. This is a free, fan-made pattern inspired by The Smurfs by Peyo. It is not official and not affiliated with or endorsed by the rights holder; if they ask us to, we will take it down.

What you need

  • Yarn: 5-ply cotton (the maker's: Chinese 5-strand cotton yarn) in blue and white; a little black yarn for the eyebrows and mouth
  • Crochet hook: 3.0 mm (the maker's size)
  • A pair of small black safety eyes
  • Fibre stuffing, a stitch marker and a tapestry needle

Abbreviations (US terms)

Worked in a continuous spiral: don't join the rounds; move a stitch marker up every round. The number in brackets is the stitch count at the end of the round.

Eye patches (white, make 2)

Ears (blue, make 2)

Head (blue)

Put the eyes in between rounds 4 and 5.

Nose (blue)

Body (white, then blue)

With the white yarn you left, work a round of slip stitches into the front loops of round 9: that makes the edge of the white trousers.

Tail (blue)

Arms (blue, make 2)

Legs (white, make 2)

The legs are the big oval feet. They start on a short chain and are worked around both sides of it.

Note on round 3: in our maker's original notes round 3 doesn't add up (it uses 10 of the 14 stitches). She is re-counting it on her finished gnome and we will update this round. Until then, make round 3 end with 22 stitches as above: 8 increases and 6 single crochets, with the increases at the two ends of the oval.

Hat (white)

Assembly

  1. EarsSew the ears on 3–4 stitches away from the eyes.
  2. Nose and faceSew the nose right up against the eyes with no gap; embroider the eyebrows and mouth in black.
  3. Head to bodySew the head onto the body.
  4. LegsTake the needle through the inner side of one leg, through the body and through the inner side of the other leg, and go back and forth through the same stitch a few times: the legs can then move.
  5. ArmsSew the arms on where the head meets the body.
  6. TailSew the tail onto the back, 2 stitches below the white part.
