Pattern description
This 67 x 67 stitch counted cross stitch pattern captures a cheerful woodland gnome in jewel-toned greens and warm earth tones, complete with a distinctive red pointed hat and wooden axe. The design showcases careful color blending across 27 DMC thread colors, creating depth and texture in the gnome's beard, clothing, and natural base. At intermediate skill level, stitchers will appreciate the moderate complexity that builds visual interest without overwhelming detail work. Perfect for autumn décor or cottage-core themed spaces, this gnome motif works beautifully on Aida fabric as a framed piece or small decorative accent. The warm rustic color scheme—deep forest greens, brick reds, and muted browns—creates a cozy, nostalgic mood that complements farmhouse and folk-inspired interiors. The free printable PDF chart makes it accessible for cross stitch enthusiasts seeking a traditional woodland character pattern with personality and charm.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
