C2C Crochet Gnome Square Pattern Information

So, funny story—I was happily crocheting away on my gnome, totally engrossed in the drama of Palm Royale on Apple TV, when I realized I made one of his shoes the same color as the background! Yep, I got so wrapped up in the show that I missed a square. But don’t worry, I’ve double-checked the pattern, and it’s correct! Lesson learned: maybe save the binge-watching for after the crochet session. 🤣

Skill Level

Advanced beginners. This crochet square is made using the corner to corner C2C crochet method and it involves color changes.  

Finished Measurements

My C2C crochet square measures just over 13 inches/33 centimeters wide and long.
