How many socks do I need to make Halloween gnomes?
You’ll need 1 sock per gnome you want to make. The bottom (toe portion) of the sock becomes the gnome’s body and the upper ankle part becomes the arms.
What type of sock is best for making a Halloween gnome?
We recommend using an adult (preferably men’s) crew sock to make your gnome. Thicker cozy socks make better gnome bodies, and stretchable fabric will make it easier to fill the gnome.
Can I make beards for my Halloween gnomes?
You can cut a beard for your gnome from faux fur if you don’t want to buy a specific “gnome beard”. Check out our Valentine gnomes post to find a template for the beard and specific instructions on how to cut it.
These Halloween gnomes are sure to bring some festive charm and whimsy to your home this autumn. These gnomes can be customized to fit your favorite Halloween theme—whether you want a witchy gnome, a Dracula vampire gnome, or even a little zombie Frankenstein!
