Gnome is Where You Hang Your Hat
Gnemo loves ice-skating on outdoor rinks, hot chocolate with a little rum in it afterwards, and the fact that early twilight means he gets to light candles at supper. He features colourwork, a curly beard, and a cuddly sweater!
He was originally part of a mystery knitalong. ⭐️ There are oodles of video tutorials with this pattern so whether you have questions about sewing on arms, attaching the beard, or how to do colourwork, there is a lot of help!
Errata: the optional tassel is not mentioned in the Finishing instructions, but the link to the tutorial for making small tassels using a fork is part of the video tutorials section.
Many tutorial videos provided. Also, check out the Gnome Schooling tutorials for all sorts of important tips and help with your gnoming needs!
