DIGITAL CROCHET PATTERN — NO FINISHED GNOMES WILL BE SHIPPED

Create a coordinated male-and-female Christmas gnome couple with this detailed 18-page crochet pattern. The English PDF uses US crochet terms and includes written, photo-rich instructions for two approximately 11–12 inch amigurumi shelf sitters.
1. WHAT WILL YOU MAKE?
You will crochet two coordinating Christmas gnomes with their own distinctive handmade details:

• A slimmer female gnome with a cream crochet nose, two thick cream braids, olive bows, decorative heart-style buttons, a cream flower, olive leaves and an oppositely curved red hat
The matching red, cream and olive palette creates a cozy Christmas pair for shelves, tables and mantel displays.
