Gnomes are perennially popular. I couldn’t resist PamGnomes‘ amazing and large collection of crochet gnome patterns. They are adorable and funny at the same time. I think if you reduce the stuffing and keep the gnomes fairly flat, they could be converted into fun brooches.
Why so many? Kristina Avertisian, the designer explained :
I have been crocheting for many years. Coming up with something new and interesting is my favorite pastime. Crocheting is everything for me. You’ll find many fun crochet patterns in my store for every holiday or occasion.
