March Leprechaun Gnome C2C Crochet

March 1, 2022

It’s the first day of March which means we have a new Gnome to add to our collection! This little leprechaun gnome is ready for some St Patrick’s Day celebrations! Grab your green yarn and let’s get started crocheting this cutie!

If you missed the big announcement, Jen from Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group and I have team up for a very fun YEAR-LONG collaboration! Each month Jen will create a Gnome Polymer Clay Crochet Hook and I will create a matching Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet rectangle. Our designs will be holiday and seasonal themed so for the month of January, we made a Winter Gnome, February we created a sweet Valentine Gal Gnome, and for March, we have our Leprechaun. I have a few pixel graph options for you, including a Shamrock design and both girl and boy gnomes. I know many of you are making more than one set of gnomes so have fun creating multiple C2C gnomes for each month!

At the end of the 12 months I will be stitching the gnomes together to make a large blanket! I will be sure to include a tutorial at the end of the year that shows how to stitch the gnomes together. I know that C2C is a new technique for many of you so I am going to try and work on some very specific C2C video tutorials to help you through the process of crocheting these gnomes.

Be sure to use the hashtag #2022gnomeproject in your social media posts so we can all follow along and see your finished gnomes!

We have had such an overwhelming response to this project! Jen and I are VERY grateful! Jen is still working on finishing her March gnome designs but you can see her progress on her FB page: Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group.

Above is a picture of Jen’s polymer clay canes! Remember, she makes the hooks (and posts them for sale in Day by Day Clay and Crochet Group) and I make the crochet patterns (which are posted for free here each month)! I love hooks with polymer clay handles because not only are the designs fun, festive, and cute, but they create an ergonomic handle which helps to ease pain and tension caused by the motions of crochet. Read more about these crochet hooks HERE.

She will be taking orders for the March Gnome hook soon! There is only a limited amount available!


Leprechaun Gnome Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver in Frosty Green, Paddy Green, Spring Green, Carrot Orange, Saffron and Black 
Shop all the colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com.
– You probably won’t need more than one skein of taupe brown for the gnome nose. Use the same skein for all 12 or change it up and use any color of your choice for the nose!
– Size H Crochet Hook
-Tapestry needle
– March Leprechaun Gnome Pixel Graph

Finished Size of the Gnome Crochet Rectangle: 20 inches tall x 14 inches wide

Now let’s make the Gnome Corner-to-Corner Crochet Rectangle!

Corner-to-Corner Crochet lets you turn almost any image into a pixel graph and then from a pixel graph into a crocheted piece! The Corner-to-Corner technique basically means the you start in one corner (the lower right hand is most common place to start) and crochet diagonally in rows until you get to the other corner. You follow the pixel graph to create the color changes that make up the picture of the gnome. One pixel square = a chain 2 + 3 HDC stitches. Please note that I am using HDC stitches for the C2C instead of DC. You can use either! The DC is more common but keep in mind that your gnome rectangle will end up slightly bigger if using Double Crochet.

If C2C is confusing to you, don’t worry, my friends at The Crochet Crowd have the perfect beginner tutorial! And the best part is that they chose to use a few of my projects as the examples so you can’t go wrong! Get The Crochet Crowd Corner-to-Corner Crochet using HDC (half double crochet) HERE.

Big THANK YOU to Jennifer Freeman of “My Beautiful Disasters” (Find her HERE on FB!) for writing out the C2C written pattern for the January, February, and March Gnomes (and the bonus gnome patterns below as well)! This is very helpful since many of you like to use the written rows to crochet instead of following the graph. 

HERE is a downloadable PDF of the Leprechaun Gnome (buckle hat) written pattern

NEW UPDATE!! Huge thanks to Diane of Stitch Therapy who is completely rockin it with this project and making the gnomes using the POPCORN STITCH! She has very graciously written out the directions for the March Gnome HERE and is working on the first two for me as well. She is volunteering her time to do this between being working full time as an elementary school librarian and mama to little ones! Thank you Diane for all your help! Please pop over to her Facebook page or IG (@StitchTherapyCrochet) and give her a big virtual hug and THANK YOU!

GET THE MARCH GNOME POPCORN STITCH PATTERN HERE

We have lots of options this month! I really wanted a shamrock version of the hat but it turns out that when you convert a shamrock into pixel art, it loses a lot of detail when it’s this small of a graph. So feel free to mix and match any of these graphs.

HERE is a downloadable PDF of the Shamrock Gnome (shamrock hat) written pattern 

HERE is the Shamrock Gnome Pixel Graph

HERE is a downloadable PDF of the Girl Gnome (blank hat) written pattern 

HERE is the Girl Gnome Pixel Graph

If you crochet a blank hat (either girl or boy gnome), you can stitch on a Shamrock Applique to the hat when you are finished!

You can find my Shamrock Applique Pattern HERE

Not to overwhelm you with options but here are two more designs that you could potentially use for your March Gnome. In the pixel graph below the Shamrock looks like a “blob.” But if you surface slip stitch a border and stem on it when you are done, it will look like a pretty shamrock!

Download the Shamrock “Blob” Pixel Graph HERE.
I don’t have a written pattern for this one.

Lastly, Jennifer Freeman has combined a few elements and written up a pattern for this cute girl gnome with a buckle hat! Get the written pattern for the Girl Buckle Hat HERE

Ok that was a lot! I don’t expect so many versions for the following months. But feel free to tweak the designs and make your own combinations of gnomes with different hats/colors/beards/braids.

    Even though a thesis statement is just a sentence or two, in which the main issues to be dealt with in your get my paper are explained, doesn’t mean that writing it will be easy.

    I’ve been following along and have January and February done. I just printed the graph for March. Are you on Ravelry where I can link to the designer? I have been adding your blog link each month and I used your hashing in my project. These are super cute and I would love to link my project to your Ravelry if you have one.
