My mission was to create the ultimate christmas crochet patterns—festive, fun, and completely unique. I experimented with countless designs—some started with the hat, others with the beard—but none of them captured the whimsical holiday charm I was looking his crochet will be 12 cm/5 inch. ″ tall when made with a 2 mm or 2.25 mm
When I started making patterns, I was afraid to attempt anything other than basic, symmetrical shapes.
All I wanted was a charming little gnome ornament to brighten the holidays. But after trial and error—some designs starting with the body, others with the beard—I finally found the perfect formula.”
Without further ado, I hope you enjoy more of my new and improved (and still free!) crochet patterns 🐰✨ Fox free Pattern _ free crochet frog pattern
