Crochet a Scandinavian tomte about 6 in tall in four small parts: a stuffed grey body with a flat base so it stands, a tall red hat pulled down to where the eyes would be, a white beard worked flat, and a round nose peeking out from under the brim. There is no face to embroider and no safety eyes; the hat does the work. Make one, or a row of three with different hat colors.

What you need
No laser, router or cutting machine needed.
Materials and supplies
- Worsted (#4) yarn: grey about 55 yd, red about 35 yd, white about 5 yd, a few yards of peach or pink
- 4 mm (G/6) crochet hook, or one size smaller than your yarn label suggests
- Polyester fiberfill, a stitch marker, a yarn needle, scissors and a few pins
Skill level
Beginner. Single crochet, increase and decrease in a spiral, one back-loop round for the body's crisp bottom edge, and a few rows worked flat for the beard. If you can make a magic ring and a flat circle, you can make this.
Finished size
- About 6 in tall to the tip of the hat and 3⅜ in across the brim, in worsted (#4) yarn with a 4 mm hook
- DK (#3) yarn and a 3.5 mm hook make a 5 in gnome; bulky (#5) and a 5.5 mm hook about 9 in. The rounds are the same.
Pattern notes
- Written in US crochet terms
- Gauge is not critical, but work tightly so the stuffing does not show
- No small parts that can come off, so it is safe for little ones
- A tip for a shaggy beard is included
Printing
- Sized for US Letter paper (8.5 × 11 in). The body and hat are on one page and the beard and nose on the next, so you can print just those two or keep them open on your phone.

Questions
Is anything shipped?
No. You buy a PDF booklet (and for machine projects, the cut files). Nothing is posted to you. The download links appear the moment you pay and are emailed to you as well.
Are the pictures photographs of a finished project?
No. They are rendered previews made from the same design as the plans. Your finished project will vary with your materials, paint and yarn.
Can I print it at home?
Yes. Every booklet is sized for US Letter paper. Print templates at 100% (actual size) and check the 4 in scale bar on the page before you cut.
I lost my download. Can I get it again?
Yes. Your links never expire. Use My library to get a sign-in link by email, or reply to your order email.
What if the file is wrong or will not open?
Email me and I will fix it or refund you. Because these are downloads there are no returns otherwise.
