Military Gnome
"This crochet military gnome is proud to serve our country and makes a wonderful thank you gift to someone who has served. Both the Navy and Army gnome use the same pattern with different colors. The biggest challenge of this gnome was picking which military hat to use. Between the hat I chose, the garrison cap, the beret looking hat, the patrol cap and so many more, it was really a challenge. I decided the hat I used is one of the most iconic hats and would be a fun little challenge to design."
