Crochet Witch Broom

To create the broom I simply made a tassel using gold-colored yarn and glued the dowel rod to the center of the top of the tassel with hot glue.

Crochet Witch Gnome Assembly Instructions

You can use a yarn needle and yarn to sew each piece together in the order listed below or you can hot glue the pieces together (this is what I did) if they are not going to be played with by kids.

1. Stuff the body.
2. Stuff and Sew Feet to the front of the gnome.
3. Sew the nose onto the gnome and sew the hair onto each side of the nose.
4. Sew or glue the broom to the Witch’s hands and sew arms onto the body.
5. Sew the cape along row 23 of the body on the backside of the gnome.
6. Stuff the hat and sew the hat onto the body.
7. Enjoy your gnome!

I truly hope you enjoyed the crochet Witch gnome pattern and will check back for more fun crochet gnome patterns.
