What is a Garden Gnome?

Garden gnomes are small, decorative figurines often found in gardens and outdoor spaces. Or at the end of a rainbow with their pot of gold. They come in a variety of colors and styles.


Gnomes are typically made of ceramic or plastic and are known for their whimsical and somewhat tacky appearance. These figurines typically have a beard, rosy-cheeks, and a pointy hat. Garden gnomes are typically men, but there are women gnomes too.


The history of garden gnomes can be traced back to 19th-century Germany. They were initially introduced as decorative elements for gardens. These figurines were inspired by folklore and mythology. It was believed that they could bring good luck and protect the garden from pests or evil spirits. Gnomes were often thought to be guardians of treasure, and this belief contributed to their popularity.


Over time, garden gnomes have become popular pieces of garden décor, and some people collect them as a hobby. Garden gnomes come in various sizes, shapes, and styles. Some garden gnome enthusiasts even create fun, elaborate scenes.


In popular culture, garden gnomes have been featured in literature, films, and various forms of art. They are sometimes used for humor, as in the animated film "Gnomeo & Juliet," which offers a playful take on the lives of garden gnomes.

While some people adore garden gnomes for their whimsy and charm, others consider them gaudy or tacky. Regardless of personal opinions, garden gnomes have left a lasting mark on the world of gardening and outdoor décor.


In recent years, garden gnomes have found a surprising new role as popular indoor decorations. Many people have welcomed these charming figurines into their homes, adding a touch of whimsy to their interior spaces. Garden gnomes are now used to adorn bookshelves, mantels, and even kitchen tables. Their quirky and endearing presence brings a sense of fun and lightheartedness to indoor spaces.

Leprechaun Gnome Crochet Pattern Details

I was totally surprised at how easy this adorable leprechaun gnome was to make. It has become one of my favorite projects to work on. The hardest part was making the buckle. I always have trouble working into a chain for some odd reason. After messing the first one up, I succeeded on the second.


To complete the gnome leprechaun crochet pattern, you only need to know basic crochet stitches and be familiar with amigurumi techniques. The pattern is written using US crochet terms. The pattern is classified as intermediate. It includes step-by-step instructions and plenty of photos.


This adorable amigurumi gnome crochets fairly quickly. The gnome body is crocheted in continuous rounds. Completed, the finished size of my gnome measured approx. 5.5" tall.

Like many amigurumi crochet projects, this crochet leprechaun gnome pattern begins with a magic circle. If you've never made a magic circle before, don't worry, they're quite easy to learn with a little practice.


The amigurumi gnome pattern starts at the top of the hat and works down to the bottom of the body. The gnome nose, arms, buckle, and beard are all worked separately. Then the finished pieces are sewn together using a yarn needle or tapestry needle. Most of the gnome body is worked using single crochet stitches.


Once you have completed the Leprechaun gnome crochet pattern you can create as many little mugs of beer or root beer as you like. They are great pieces for using up your scrap yarn.

Learn How to Crochet with a Crochet Kit for Beginners

If you are new to crochet and amigurumi, and want to learn how, I recommend The Woobles kits. I learned with their Penguin Crochet Kit. I looked at it for so long. Each time I tried to talk myself out of it. I can’t do it. There’s no way I will learn how to crochet from a kit. Blah Blah Blah. If you are negative, like me, you understand.


Do not wait. I seriously was able to sit down and learn how to crochet using this amazing kit. It teaches you everything from holding the yarn, how to hold a crochet hook, and reading crochet patterns. When you are done, you will be able to understand basic crochet terminology.


The beginner kit starts off by teaching you the most fundamental stich, the single crochet. Then once you master the beginner kit you can try other kits that teach special stitches. Included with the kit is a link to the most helpful how-to crochet videos I have ever seen.


The Woobles kits come with everything you need except scissors. You get the yarn, crochet hook, tapestry needle, stitch markers, safety eyes, stuffing, crochet instructions, and video links.
