Ideally, this gnome should have been done in green, but I wanted to stay with the Redwork embroidery theme I’ve been working on. If any of you stitch it in green (DMC 700 is a nice shade) please tag me on Instagram (@jansweeps) and show me what it looks like.

Gnome is where your heart is

This gnome is part of a collection of Redwork embroidery gnomes that I’ve been making. If you’d like to take a look at some of the other gnome patterns they are located here:

1. My Little Friend
2. Valentine’s Day Gnome
3. This list will get bigger as I add more through the next couple of months

Here is what you’ll need to get started:

• DMC 321 Red
• Embroidery hoop
• Muslin, or your choice of fabric
• Fabric scissors
• Embroidery scissors
• Embroidery needle
• Embroidery transfer pen (I love these)
• Light box or sunny window

Instructions for getting the pattern onto the fabric:

• Save PDF pattern (below)
• Print PDF pattern in the size you want (i.e. – 8×10, 5×7, 4×6, etc.). (More on that here.)
• Tape pattern to the light box or sunny window
• Tape the fabric you want to stitch on over the pattern, being careful to center your design
• With embroidery pens, trace all lines onto the fabric
• Carefully remove tape from the fabric and pattern
• Place fabric in hoop and stitch

If you need help resizing the PDF patterns, here’s a tutorial.
