I LOVE how this turned out!!! I’m getting ready to start another one right now with slightly thinner yarn and a smaller hook.
I crocheted this using several patterns. The base is a dragon egg that I altered to make it work how I envisioned. The hat is a witches hat that I made without the brim.
Here’s a pic before I went to the craft store and found the wooden beads I used for the nose. This give you an idea of size.
I saw this Pin that was my inspiration.
ETA: I made another one
Oh, just look at this happy chap! I love that dragon egg/pine cone texture for a beard!
He’s SO CUUUUTE!
Very cute!
This is great- such cool textures and I love the size. One can never have too many gnomes!
I love him!! The beard and hat are awesome. You did such a good job on him. 
Super cute and such an original little gnome!
Its amazing how one little bead can add so much personality! Love the beard texture and the slouchiness of the hat
What a great combination!
I love how you took these two separate things and made them into something entirely new 
Thanks, everyone! I just finished a second one and added the pic to this post 
Congratulations!! Your beautifully intricate Gnomes are a FEATURED PROJECT!!
