The Santa Claus gnome would not be complete without his crochet Mrs. Claus gnome. They are two peas in a pod and together make Christmas more enjoyable than ever.
Below you will find the complete pattern and instructional photos for this crochet Mrs. Claus gnome. You will also find all the materials, stitches, gauge, and sizing information. If you would like all of this in a nicely formatted printable format, you can purchase the Ad-Free Large Print PDF Pattern.
Designing the Crochet Mrs. Claus Gnome
Every time I design a gnome I want it to be unique and different from all the other crochet gnomes. With the crochet Mrs. Claus Gnome, I got really creative. She has a completely different hairstyle from any other gnomes. Her short grey curls are charming and just peek out from underneath her bonnet.
I gave her a full skirt and a white apron. I figured, Mrs. Claus is an excellent cook and keeps her dear Santa Claus nice and plump. She just makes me think of cozy Christmases with my grandmother.
How to Customize your Crochet Mrs. Claus Gnome
This crochet gnome pattern can be customized in a variety of ways. You can change her dress color, hair color, and skin tone. Make her outfit green or green and red.
If you change her skin tone, try using Red Heart Super Saver Aran(light tones), Buff(Medium tone), Cafe Latte(Dark tone), and Coffee(Very dark tone) for skin tones.
Make this gnome unique and special with your customization.

Purchase the Premium Ad-Free PDF Pattern
Below you will find the free pattern with all the instructional photos and videos needed to complete the pattern, but I am also aware that several of us like to crochet on the couch, in the car, or in bed with a print out of the pattern. This is why I also offer a nicely formatted ad-free large font PDF version of the pattern. You can print the pattern and take it on the go with you or tuck it into your project bag or basket.
I moved all the photos to the end of the PDF so you can reference them as you needed them and print just the pattern without using up as much ink. The Premium PDF version of the pattern can be purchased on Etsy or Ravelry.

1. Stuff the gnome’s body and sew the skirt around the gnome.
2. Sew the Apron onto the gnome and the nose on top of the apron.
3. Sew the arms onto the gnome.
4. Sew grey curls to the top of the gnome body laying over rows 21 and 22.
5. Sew the hat onto the body.
