Here We Gnome Again

Ever since the introduction of the Never Not Gnoming trio, I have continued to dream gnomish dreams. So here we gnome again!

Meet Gnancy and Gneville. Gnancy likes to read The Fellowship of the Ringswhile sipping mead. Gneville can’t sit still and enjoys rugby and Quidditch.

Gorgeous twisted stitch cables trace elegant patterns all over the hat and body. Just like all my gnome patterns there are a number of tricks to keep the sewing to a minimum

There are 4 tutorial videos on cabling without a cable needle on my YouTube Channel that I made specifically to help you with these twisted stitch cables. There are links in the pattern in the 5th version, alert sent out on Sept 20, 2018, but you can also follow that link to find them.

Many tutorial videos provided. Also, check out the Gnome Schooling tutorials for all sorts of important tips and help with your gnoming needs!

Love the hat? Me, too! That's why I designed a version to fit humans called G'night Cap.
