April Bunny Gnome C2C Crochet

April 1, 2022

Happy April! I have another gnome to add to our 2022 Gnome Project! 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, March we have a Leprechaun, and April is an Easter Bunny! I have two pixel graphs for you to choose from: a bearded boy bunny and a piggy-tailed girl bunny!

Grab your Red Heart Super Saver yarn and let’s get make this adorable Easter Bunny Gnome!

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!

Below is a picture of Jen’s April Gnome polymer clay canes! I love the bunny and the carrot! The way she makes these is truly fascinating. Jen 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 April Gnome hook soon! There is only a limited amount available!

April Bunny Gnome Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver in Lemon, Baby Pink, Orchid, Aruba Sea and White,
– 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
– April Bunny 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, March, and April 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.

    Can you give an idea of how many yards of each color? I have some Brava mini skeins I want to use but I want to be sure they will be big enough?

    Thank you so much for releasing these wonderful patterns, I’m looking forward to completing them all and giving the finished blanket as a Christmas gift to my mum! Is there a recommended ratio of boy gnomes to girl gnomes designs for the final design? I don’t know if it will look best for me to keep alternating or some other formation.

    Great pattern but I think I found an error in the male version of April’s written pattern row 17. It says 1 background 1 purple 10 white 3 turquoise 1 background. But the picture shows 2 purple 9 white? Can this be fixed? For future downloads.

    Great pattern, but I believe I discovered a problem in April’s written pattern row 17 for men. It reads, “1 backdrop, 1 purple, 10 white, 3 turquoise.” I adore your designs, and I owe you a big debt of gratitude for the Gnome pattern releases. Your website has inspired me to create my own cruise beanie. This is another piece of information that we’re looking for.
