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

The smallest gnome in the book, Gnoodles is a simple and sweet project.

Fingering/DK
Like all gnomes in this book, Gnoodles 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.)

Gnoodles’ Story
A visit to the local bookshop changed Gnoodles’ life when
a book about Wilson ‘Snowflake’ Bentley caught her eye. She was so absorbed that the shop shut up for the night without her even noticing. She jokingly calls that night her ‘metamorphosis’. She ate all the biscuits behind the counter – apologizing the next morning, of course – and sunrise dawned with a life’s purpose for her. Snowflake photos are tricky to take, but a snowflake’s transient nature excites Gnoodles and makes her smile when winter clouds glower on the horizon.
