Advent Calendar with fillable Gnomes and Bags - Crochet Pattern

Advent calendar with eight different gnomes and bags

This cute and funny advent calendar with the ever-popular gnomes is sure to put a smile on the face of every viewer.

The elves are small bags that can be filled, even nail polish and lipstick fit in. They are closed with a transparent rubber ring which is placed around the nose.

The bags also offer enough space to hide little surprises for your loved ones - a special eye-catcher for your home in the run-up to Christmas.

The bags are quick and easy to make, the elves are of course a bit more elaborate, but the result is worth every effort.

Skills Required / What You'll Receive

The pattern includes 30 pages of text, step photos and, where necessary, crochet diagrams. Furthermore, a print template for the numbering (stars) is included.

The hardest part is the tip of the caps, which is a bit fiddly - if you can do that, the rest is really easy and also suitable for beginners.

Size Information

The gnomes are about 7 cm wide and about 13 cm to 16 cm long.
Size of the bags: 7 cm x 10 cm.
