After seeing a cute little gnome on Pinterest one day, I thought maybe I could try drawing one and stitch it. So, I drew two, then before you know it, two became six. I don’t even have a gnome in my yard and here I am falling in love with their quirky little hats and bodies. I now have enough patterns to (almost) fill your walls.

All of the gnomes that I’m going to offer here (not all consecutively), I chose to do in Redwork. I have always loved Redwork and Bluework patterns, but if you’re not a fan of either Redwork or Bluework, make the gnomes your own, do your own thing. Make them rainbow if you choose.

Whatever colors you decide, please tag me on Instagram (@jansweeps) or drop me a line below to show me what you’re stitching.

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.
