Valentines Gnome Crochet Pattern for Beginners

Turn your Rustic Farmhouse Gnome into a charming Valentine’s Day decoration with this sweet seasonal variation. The Valentine’s Gnome Crochet Pattern is a festive twist on two popular designs, combining the Rustic Farmhouse Gnome with the Mini Crochet Heart Pattern to create a cute, giftable Valentine’s crochet project.

What is the Valentine’s Gnome?

The Valentine’s Gnome is a seasonal crochet variation created by combining:

By simply changing colours and adding a small heart detail, your farmhouse gnome transforms into a Valentine’s Day gnome that is perfect for decorating, gifting, or selling.

This festive design is perfect whether you already have the patterns or are discovering them for the first time. Both patterns can be viewed on the blog or purchased as premium, printable PDFs, making it easy to create a Valentine-themed gnome.

Two pink knitted hats with speckled patterns and brown tags are displayed on a white surface; a hand holds a red crocheted heart beside another heart placed on the hats, creating a charming Valentine’s Crochet scene.

One Gnome, Endless Seasonal Variations

One of the best features of the Rustic Farmhouse Gnome Crochet Pattern is how easily it can be customized throughout the year. By simply changing the hat colours and adding small, themed accessories, you can swap out your gnome for the season without crocheting a brand-new design every time.

Use the same base gnome pattern and transform the hat for:
Valentine’s Day with hearts and pink accents
Spring and Easter with pastel hats or florals
Fall with warm neutrals and textured yarns
Christmas and winter holidays with festive colours

This makes the Rustic Farmhouse Gnome a versatile, reusable crochet pattern that you can enjoy year after year while keeping your decor fresh and seasonal.

How the Patterns Work Together

To make the Valentine’s Gnome:
