Product Description
Here is a new pattern for you. It combines our love for Christmas and Nordic Gnomes. This naughty Christmas Tree Gnome has a secret! Look inside. Sometimes it hides sweets and treats but sometimes something stronger.
This is an easy beginner-friendly pattern. It requires very basic felting skills. However, an alternative to felting is provided in the pattern.
It’s designed to hold 500cl gin bottle. The pattern also provides a guide on how to adjust the finished item to suit your needs (bigger or smaller bottle). You also can use this as a container for sweets and treats.
The pattern is designed using Sheepjes Colour Crafter DK yarn. You can use any DK yarn, however, some yarn is thicker/thinner than others. Go for yarn with 300 meters in 100g.
Secret Surprise Christmas Tree Gnome Crochet Pattern
What Is Being Made
This downloadable crochet pattern from Dinashka Handmade creates a Secret Surprise Christmas Tree Gnome—a decorative crocheted gnome designed to fit over a 500ml gin bottle, transforming it into a festive holiday decoration. The pattern also functions as a container for sweets, treats, and other small items, making it a versatile handmade gift or craft project. The gnome features a distinctive tree-shaped design with a pointed top, combining holiday aesthetics with practical functionality.
Craft and Technique Overview
This is a crochet project suitable for beginners and those new to amigurumi-style construction. While the pattern is not a comprehensive crochet tutorial, it provides clear instructions for crafting a three-dimensional gnome figure. The pattern includes guidance on scaling the design up or down to accommodate different bottle sizes, allowing crafters to customize the finished piece to their specific needs.
Stitches and Construction Methods
The pattern utilizes fundamental crochet stitches appropriate for beginner-level projects. Construction involves creating the gnome's body to slip over a bottle form, with separate sections for the tree portion and the gnome's facial features. The pattern demonstrates techniques for assembling multiple crocheted components into a cohesive three-dimensional figure.
Materials Required
- DK Weight Yarn: Light green (25-30g), Dark green (25-30g), Beige or Neutral shade (5-10g), and Yellow (5g) for the tree top accent
- Felting Yarn: Green felting yarn for creating the gnome's beard; the pattern includes instructions for alternative methods if felting yarn is unavailable
- Crochet Hook: Appropriate size for DK weight yarn (typically US size E/4.0mm or F/5.0mm, depending on desired tension)
- Additional Supplies: Yarn needle for weaving in ends and assembling pieces
Difficulty Level and Suitability
Rated as Easy and Beginner level, this pattern is designed for crafters new to crochet or those seeking a straightforward seasonal project. The beginner-friendly approach makes it an excellent choice for developing fundamental crochet skills while creating a finished product suitable for gift-giving or personal use.
Design Details
The Secret Surprise Christmas Tree Gnome combines traditional gnome styling with Christmas tree elements, creating a whimsical holiday decoration. The pattern uses multiple yarn colors to distinguish different sections—the light and dark greens form the tree body, while the beige provides contrast for the gnome's face and body, and yellow highlights the tree's top point. The felted beard adds texture and dimension to complete the gnome character.
