Our latest crochet pattern is the cover project of I Like Crochet December 2026 digital magazine!
I, Dana, remember waking up one morning and asking myself if it was possible to crochet a tree in the chevron stitch. Imagine my excitement when it worked out! After looking at it I wondered if I could make a gnome, too. Sure enough, I could! The chevron stitch is a great backdrop for making a whimsical Christmas afghan and I’m thrilled that it’s featured in the I Like Crochet December 2026 issue.
Gnome for the Holidays Afghan is a surprisingly easy pattern making it a great project for confident beginners and advanced crocheters alike. It measures 50″ x 60″, which is the perfect size for snuggling on the couch or accenting your home for the holidays.
Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted
Gnome for the Holidays Afghan is crocheted in Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted (100% Anti-Pilling Acrylic; 180 yards [165 meters]/3.5 ounces [100 grams]) in the colors:
- #ED100-77 Fern Green,
- #ED100-01 Snow White,

I love Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted because it’s durable, has a nice sheen, and is washable. Not only that, it’s available in 65 colors. Did you know that the Anti-Pilling line is also available in different yarn weights like Dk and Chunky? There are other fun options like glitter and gradient, too.
