Garden Gnome Toadstool Doll – Crochet Pattern

This fun little pattern was inspired from my Garden Fairy Flower Pot Doll. Every whimsical, fun loving Garden Fairy needs a cute little Gnome as her friend. He is a fun Garden Gnome that can turn into a Toadstool Mushroom and hide amongst the garden with his fairy friends. I am excited for this pattern because it is finally one that a boy may enjoy playing with, as well. I know, I have been asked by many of you for a boy version of my dolls, and since Gnomes are a bit more whimsical by nature, I felt this one was a good fit.
