Gnome Family SVG

About this design

A whole gnome family. Two tall gnomes stand on either side, one in a plain hat and one in a polka-dot hat, and a little gnome stands in front of them in the middle, its smaller hat dotted too.

Read it as two parents and a child, grandparents and a grandchild, or three siblings. It is made for family shirts, ornaments and cards.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 32 pieces and 12 cut-outs. The gnomes overlap and are separated by thin cut lines, with the little gnome in front. Keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape so the parts stay lined up. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

More family members

For a bigger family, place two copies side by side in your software, or add the Gnome Couple next to it, and add names under each gnome.

Good to know

Family designs are often made in a hurry before a photo, so plan the colors first. Pick one color for all three hats if you want everyone to match, or give each gnome its own color so each family member can claim one. The little gnome in front is shorter, so it also works alone on a toddler’s shirt: hide the two tall gnomes in your software and cut just the small one. Sizes of at least 4.5 inches keep the beard lines clean.

Pairs well with

The Gnome Couple is two gnomes, and the Snowman Family is a snowman version.
