These little gnomes are my 2018 Christmas ornaments for my grandchildren (4 if grandson is born before Christmas) and one for a friend and at least one for myself. I used a combination of these two tutorials:

This tutorial is similar and has a link to the pattern I used for the hat: https://flamingotoes.com/wee-little-gnome-pom-pom-ornaments/

I used a 45mm pom pom maker and ½” wooden round balls for the noses. I used ball fringe for the hat and attached it with hot glue, then wrapped yarn around the top (to hide any hot glue peeking out), tied it in back and then tied the ends together for the hanger. I tried some free-hand embroidery on a couple of the hats, then did the rest using decorative stitching on my sewing machine.
