Gnomie Wall Hanging

Gnomie Wall Hanging by Noorain Nizami

Project Overview

The Gnomie Wall Hanging is a beginner-friendly crochet decoration designed by Noorain Nizami. This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for creating charming gnome-themed wall art that can be made as a single panel or doubled for a larger display piece. The project combines multiple yarn weights and specialty threads to achieve dimensional detail and visual interest in a decorative home accent.

What Is Being Made

This pattern creates a wall hanging featuring gnome designs suitable for home decoration. The project is scalable, with yardage provided for both a single panel (approximately 212 yards total for one gnome) and options to create multiple panels for expanded wall displays.

Yarn and Materials

The Gnomie Wall Hanging uses a diverse palette of seven yarn colors and weights to build texture and visual appeal:

• Color A: Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick in Fisherman (super bulky, size 6; 80% acrylic, 20% wool; 106 yards per panel)
• Color B: Lion Brand x Two of Wands Hue and Me in Juniper (bulky, size 5; 80% acrylic, 20% wool; 137 yards)
• Color C: Lion Brand x Two of Wands Color Theory in Satellite (worsted weight, size 4; 100% acrylic; 123 yards)
• Color D: Aunt Lydia's Metallic Crochet Thread in Silver (thread, size 10; 100% mercerized cotton, 3-ply; 40 yards)
• Color E: We Crochet Comfy Worsted in Parchment (worsted weight, size 4; 75% Pima cotton, 25% acrylic; 60 yards)
• Color F: Caron Simply Soft in Harvest Red (worsted weight, size 4; 100% acrylic; 160 yards)
• Color G: Aunt Lydia's Metallic Crochet Thread in Gold (thread, size 10; 100% mercerized cotton, 3-ply; 30 yards)

Crochet Hook

The pattern calls for a US size 17 (12mm) Tunisian crochet hook measuring 12 inches in length. The Tunisian hook's extended shaft accommodates the stitch structures used throughout the design.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The Gnomie Wall Hanging employs Tunisian crochet as its primary technique. Tunisian crochet creates a fabric with characteristics between traditional crochet and knitting, offering a dense, structured base ideal for dimensional wall hangings. The combination of super bulky, bulky, and worsted weight yarns alongside metallic threads allows for layered color work and decorative embellishment. The inclusion of specialty metallic threads in silver and gold adds sparkle and definition to details, while the variety of yarn weights enables the crafter to build shape and texture within the gnome design.

Skill Level

Rated as a beginner project, the Gnomie Wall Hanging is accessible to crocheters new to the craft. The straightforward construction and use of basic Tunisian crochet stitches make this an ideal introduction to wall hanging projects without requiring advanced shaping or complex stitch combinations.
