Max Gnome

Meet Max, the Grinch’s loyal sidekick—now in adorable wine‑topper form! This quick‑to‑make Christmas cutie is perfect for holiday gifting, party décor, or dressing up a festive bottle. He works up fast, uses very little yarn, and adds instant charm to any celebration.

You’ll get both a PDF and an HTML file—perfect for saving in Google Drive or on your phone or tablet—so you can crochet comfortably from anywhere without all the pinching and zooming.

Designed with Red Heart #4 worsted weight yarn, Max uses light brown, ivory, and small scraps of dark brown and pink for his signature features. His fluffy beard is made with about 2 oz of beard‑colored yarn, and a tiny cotton‑ball amount of stuffing gives him shape. You’ll need a Size H or I hook, a 5" piece of cardboard, hot glue gun, darning needle, and scissors to finish him off.
