It’s that time of year again, I am so excited Christmas is one of my favourite holidays & the only thing that makes winter bearable.

12 page pattern with photo’s for your reference. Worked flat on 2 needles.

I do allow the finished products from my patterns for charity or by hobby sellers please ensure designer details are also included.

Candy cane gonk/gnome measure 8” tall from top of head to sole of shoe.

Gauge isn’t important just needs to be compact so that stuffing doesn’t show through.

I used Yarnsmith create, James C Brett and King Cole moments but any yarn and colour combinations can be used.

Materials needed:

Needles UK No 10 (3.25mm) US 3
UK No 8 (4mm) US 6
Tapestry/Darning needle for sewing up
Toy stuffing
Gauge 7sts x 9 rows = 1”
