Christmas Gnome Pattern and a Giveaway

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.

If you would like to win a Christmas Gnome Pattern, just leave a comment below.
If you are reading this in a reader, please go to Natural Suburbia and leave a comment at the end of the post so that the random generator can pick up your comment entry:)
The winner will be chosen on the 7th of December.

Winner!
Congratulations to:

    Made with so much love! Makes me wish I knew how to knit : ) My girls would love to give your gnome a good home, he'd probably hang out with Jingle our Elf on the shelf -- the two of them could get into some fun mischief together!! : )

    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.

    Wow--Wow--Wowser!!!
    This is a wonderful little Gnome.
    I want to knit up many of them and place them all over my house so that the little ones that vist me over the holiday can have a search party to find their very own Gnome Santa.
