Materials Needed

Before we dive into the pattern, let's gather all the supplies you'll need. This project uses basic materials that are easy to find at any craft store:

Yarn

• Worsted weight yarn in earthy tones:
  • Forest green (for front and bottom sides)
  • Warm brown (for back side and door)
  • Cream (for left side and window)
  • Rust orange (for right side and roof)
  • Mustard yellow (for top side and roof details)

Hook and Notions

• US G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook
• Stitch markers (to keep track of rounds)
• Tapestry needle (for sewing pieces together)
• Polyester fiberfill (for stuffing)
• Small button or embroidery thread (for the doorknob)
• Scissors

Gauge

Gauge is not critical for this project. However, aim for a tight tension (approximately 4 single crochets = 1 inch) to prevent the stuffing from showing through. If your stitches are loose, try using a smaller hook.

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds (spiral) for the window, and in rows for the squares and roof pieces. Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds. Let's get started!

Cube Sides (Make 6)

Each side of the cube is a simple square worked in rows. You'll make six squares total, each in a different color.

Side 1 (Front with Door) – Forest Green

1. Using forest green yarn, chain 11.
2. Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from the hook and across. You should have 10 sc. Chain 1, turn.
3. Rows 2-10: Sc in each sc across (10 sc). Chain 1, turn at the end of each row.
4. After Row 10, fasten off and weave in the ends. This creates a 10x10 sc square.

Side 2 (Back) – Warm Brown

1. Using warm brown yarn, repeat the exact same instructions as Side 1.
2. Chain 11, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (10 sc). Work Rows 2-10 with 10 sc each. Fasten off.

Side 3 (Left) – Cream

1. Using cream yarn, repeat the same instructions as Side 1.
2. Chain 11, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (10 sc). Work Rows 2-10 with 10 sc each. Fasten off.

Side 4 (Right) – Rust Orange

1. Using rust orange yarn, repeat the same instructions as Side 1.
2. Chain 11, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (10 sc). Work Rows 2-10 with 10 sc each. Fasten off.

Side 5 (Top) – Mustard Yellow

1. Using mustard yellow yarn, repeat the same instructions as Side 1.
2. Chain 11, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (10 sc). Work Rows 2-10 with 10 sc each. Fasten off.

Side 6 (Bottom) – Forest Green

1. Using forest green yarn, repeat the same instructions as Side 1.
2. Chain 11, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (10 sc). Work Rows 2-10 with 10 sc each. Fasten off.

Door (Worked Separately)

This small door will be sewn onto the front of the cube (Side 1).

1. Using warm brown yarn, chain 6.
2. Row 1: Sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and across (5 sc). Chain 1, turn.
3. Rows 2-5: Sc in each sc across (5 sc). Chain 1, turn.
4. Fasten off. Using a tapestry needle and matching yarn, sew the door onto the center of Side 1 (the forest green square).
5. Add a small button or embroider a circle in the center of the door for a doorknob.

Window (Worked Separately)

This circular window will be attached to the left side (Side 3) of the cube.

1. Using cream yarn, chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, work 8 single crochets into the ring. Slip stitch to the first sc to close the round.
3. Fasten off. Sew the window onto Side 3 (the cream square) near the top using a tapestry needle and matching yarn.

Roof (Make 2 Identical Pieces)

These triangular pieces will form the roof peak on top of the cube.

1. Using rust orange yarn, chain 11.
2. Row 1: Sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and across (10 sc). Chain 1, turn.
3. Row 2: Sc2tog (single crochet 2 together), sc in the next 6 sc, sc2tog. You should have 8 sc. Chain 1, turn.
4. Row 3: Sc2tog, sc in the next 4 sc, sc2tog. You should have 6 sc. Chain 1, turn.
5. Row 4: Sc2tog, sc in the next 2 sc, sc2tog. You should have 4 sc. Chain 1, turn.
6. Row 5: Sc2tog twice. You should have 2 sc. Fasten off.
7. Make a second identical piece.

Assembly

Now comes the fun part—putting your gnome home together! Follow these steps carefully for a clean, professional finish.

1. Lay out the six squares in a cross shape:
   • Place the Top (mustard yellow) square in the center.
   • Place the Front (forest green with door) square below the top.
   • Place the Back (warm brown) square above the top.
   • Place the Left (cream with window) square to the left of the top.
   • Place the Right (rust orange) square to the right of the top.
   • Place the Bottom (forest green) square below the front square.
2. Using a tapestry needle and matching yarn, whip stitch the squares together. Start by sewing the top to the front, back, left, and right sides. Then attach the bottom to the front, back, left, and right sides.
3. Leave one edge open for stuffing—this is easiest if you leave the bottom edge of the back square unsewn.
4. Stuff the cube firmly with polyester fiberfill. Make sure to push the stuffing into the corners for a nice, square shape.
5. Close the final opening by whip stitching it shut.
6. Attach the two roof triangles to the top of the cube. Position them so they form a peak, with the wide edges at the bottom and the points meeting at the top. Sew them along the top edge of the cube, overlapping slightly at the center.
7. Embroider small cross-stitches on the roof using mustard yellow yarn for added texture and charm.

Finishing Touches

1. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean, polished look.
2. Optional: Add a small hanging loop at the top by chaining 15 stitches and attaching it to the center of the roof. This makes your gnome home perfect for hanging on a doorknob or Christmas tree.
3. Give your cube a gentle squeeze to fluff it up and shape it.

Customization Ideas

One of the best things about this pattern is how customizable it is! Here are a few ideas to make it your own:

• Change the color palette: Use pastel colors for a spring gnome home, or bright reds and greens for a festive holiday version.
• Add more details: Embroider tiny mushrooms, flowers, or vines on the sides for extra woodland charm.
• Make it a set: Create multiple cubes in different colors and arrange them as a tiny village.
• Use different yarn weights: Try bulky yarn with a larger hook for a bigger, chunkier cube, or fingering weight for a miniature version.
