This halloween crochet gnome trades the usual black cat and cobweb look for something softer — a pointed witch hat, a faux-fur beard, and a sprig of fall foliage tucked into the brim. It's Halloween decor that still feels like home.

Because the hat and beard do all the visual work, you can make one in an evening and have a whole set ready for the mantel by the weekend. He's an easy handmade gift for a fellow crochet-loving friend, a fun addition to a fall craft fair table, or simply a new season for your gnome collection. Once you've made one, don't be surprised if you want a matching pair.
