This pattern is an easy hat worked in the round which highlights the fun furry yarn. Adjust cast on by 2 stitches at a time to increase or decrease size. Increase uniformly after the ribbing to 45 stitches. A faux-fur pompon makes a fun addition.

These fun knitted/felted gnomes make great gifts along with an inserted bottle of wine. Easy construction followed by felting. Must use 100% feltable wool. With worsted weight wool the yarn is carried double. You can also use chunky weight wool carried single. Variation included for Santa gnome.
