Bring storybook mischief to your Halloween sewing with this elegant gnome design, topped with a black witch hat scattered with stars and a crescent moon. The scene feels properly illustrated: the gnome stands among a tree trunk, leaves and twisting vines, while hanging lanterns, jack-o'-lanterns, candles, purple flowers and a small ghost build out the setting. It suits anyone who likes their spooky season more whimsical than scary, with plenty of detail to keep the eye moving.
This is the kind of design that would look especially good on a black sweatshirt, a sturdy autumn tote, a linen wall hanging or the back of a seasonal apron. With 15 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, it has the coverage and richness that make the glowing oranges, soft ghostly whites and muted greens stand out against darker fabrics. The larger sizes will really show off the chained pumpkin lantern and the little tucked-in details around the gnome, while the smaller ones still keep the character clear and charming.
