Santa Chocolate Orange Gnome – Free Crochet Pattern. Crochet your very own Santa Gnome. All created in DK yarn.  

I love chocolate oranges!  Crochet yourself a cute santa gnome to hide your chocolate orange stash or if you are feeling generous you could make these as very cute gifts for Christmas.
