This is the surprise pattern that I have been working on, a Christmas gnome. He could actually be any gnome really, Spring, Autumn etc.. just knit him in a different colour and there you go! I have knitted him in a hand spun chunky wool and he measures 11.5 inches tall. I have knitted him for a pattern and to take up residence on our mantelpiece during Christmas, (that is if Kye doesn't whisk him away, he really loves this gnome:)
I have added this Christmas Gnome pattern to my shop too:)
He is knitted on size 4mm circular and double pointed needles. This pattern is knitted in the round with decreasing and increasing. You could knit in the Magic Loop or use DPNs. I have also knitted with i-cords.
He can either have a needle felted beard or none at all, the choice is yours:)
AND if there is ever anything you don't understand in any of my patterns, you can just email me right away and we will work it out together:)As always, I will be giving a few patterns away.
The winner will be chosen on the 7th of December.
Winner!
Congratulations to:

Your charming Christmas Gnome belongs in everyone's home, all the better to oversee the important Christmas tasks, cookie bakings, gift making with the kids, decorating, singing carols with the family. Hope to make a few special Christmas Gnomes to send out to share the Season's Joy.
ReplyDeleteLinda, as always your patterns are amazing. This little gnome is so cute. How cute would he look peeking out of a Christmas stocking.
