Gnome Pun Intended
The rumply hat! That loopy beard!
They say you can’t go gnome again, but I can’t stop designing gnomefolk! Gnora prefers the North Sea to the Mediterranean and loves cold-water surfing. St. Gnick can’t vacation as often as he would like, but his workplace culture can’t be beat! Milk and cookies, anyone?
Pattern is designed to have minimal end-weaving in and need minimal assembling. It comes with instructions for both worsted and fingering weight options, two beard options, helpful photos, and 2 video tutorials. I LOVE making gnomes and I want you to like them, too!
Perfect for mini skeins and leftovers.
Many tutorial videos provided. Also, check out the Gnome Schooling tutorials for all sorts of important tips and help with your gnoming needs!
