I've been in love with Waldorf inspired toys and gnomes, and I ran across one of these and I thought "I can make that!"
I don't remember where I seen it, but when I do I will post it so the original artist will get the credit.
It's basically 2 washclothes and some no-pill fleece for the hat.
This would make an easy (and cheap) gift for a new baby.
I think I might make one with a red hat and a green hat too!

Supplies
-
Cut out a head shape, you can eyeball it I think mine
was about 3" in from the sides and top.
Sew all around and leave a 3" opening for turning. -
Turn right sides out and stuff head, take a piece of
white floss tie around neck and knot.
Sew opening closed either by hand or sewing machine. -
Pinch hands and tie white floss around and knot. (there is NO stuffing in hands and feet)
Do the same for the feet. -
Lay your piece of fleece around your little gnomes head and
place a pin so you know where to start sewing.
take it off the gnomes head.
I layed a piece of thread on the fleece so you can see how you
need to cut and sew your hat. (The thread is not really on the hat) -
Cut hat, sew.
You will notice that the bottom of the hat is at an angle, -
I then cut the bottom level.
-
Turn hat right sides out and slip it on the gnomes head.
If it's too loose take it off and sew it a little smaller.
Put it on the gnomes head and sew it on with a whip stitch
with regular sewing thread. -
Sew on eyes with tan floss entering the needle from the back of the head
just under the hat.
I did 2 little stitches for each eye and tied it off at the back of the head also. -
Apply blush with a q-tip for the cheeks. Or you could use non-toxic paint.
-
Tie a bow around his neck and put a couple of stitches in close to the knot to secure the bow so the baby can't get it untied and your all done!
-
I hope you have lots of fun making these and your little ones enjoy playing with them!
