> A Gnome of Many Hats
A Gnome of Many Hats
A perfect, quick knit to use up bits of scrap yarn. These little guys measure approx. 5” in height. They would make great last minute gifts or little desk companions. =)
Instructions for 5 different hats are included. Less than 2.5 oz of each type of yarn is needed to complete one gnome. 16 mm wooden beads are used for the noses.
The gnomes are constructed using Aran/medium weight yarn and US 5 (3.75mm) DPNs.
Please note: The hats are knit in a smaller, sport weight yarn.
The body & hats are knit in the round while the beard is knitted flat. The pattern is 9 pages long and includes photos to assist you.
Recommended skill level is Advanced Beginner/Intermediate due to working in the round with DPNs.
