This charming Home Dwarf amigurumi brings a touch of Christmas magic to your home. With his traditional red cap and cozy green coat, he looks like he just stepped out of a folklore tale.

Picture a small guardian spirit watching over your family - that's what this Home Dwarf represents. Standing about 6 inches tall with his distinctive pointy red hat and neon green jacket, he has an old-world charm that works year-round, not just for Christmas. The pattern uses a classic color palette: festive red and green with natural bone and brown tones for the face and beard. His little grey details and black safety eyes give him personality. This makes a meaningful gift for anyone who loves folklore, Scandinavian traditions, or protective symbols for the home. Parents often make these as Christmas keepsakes that become part of family tradition. The finished dwarf has a comforting weight thanks to the fiberfill stuffing, and he sits nicely on a shelf or mantle. The design includes intricate details like a textured beard and carefully shaped hat. You'll work with a small 1.75mm hook, which creates tight, professional-looking stitches. The finished piece feels substantial and well-made, the kind of handmade item people treasure for years.
