Santa Cork Gnome
"Christmas is definatly the seasons of the gnomes, so it was clear I would have to make a Christmas gnome and who better to model him on than Santa? Use scrap yarn and a recycled cork to make this cute little Santa gnome. This festive gnome can be crocheted up in next to no time and make a fabulous Christmas ornament or table decoration. The pattern is easy to follow and the hat has a luxurious double time made out of lash yarn or another kind of fluffy yarn."
