The book “The Gnomes of Grimblewoods: Enchanting friends to knit, full of magic and mischief” publishes on Sept 15. Preorders now open.

Fingering/DK
Like all gnomes in this book, Gnatalia is shown in both fingering and DK weight yarn. Gauge, needle information, height, and yardage details are provided for both in the book. Check out the “Chart of Everything” in the photos.

(Knitting instructions are identical for the fingering and DK weight versions.)

Gnatalia’s Story
Gnatalia works as a garment historian for the Ladybug Queen. She is secretly working on a new beard apron to protect gnomes’ most striking feature. She was inspired by a blacksmith’s leather Bearde-Pocket from the 7th century G.C.E. that once shielded a beard from sparks.
