Waffle gnome free pattern

This Waffle Gnome crochet pattern has been simmering in my sketchbook for months now, and I’m so excited to finally share it!

My goal was to create a fun, whimsical gnome with as little sewing as possible. I experimented with lots of prototypes—some with attached waffles, some with separate pieces—but it never quite captured the cozy, sweet look I was aiming for
