Love is in the air and what better way to create love and romance than to make your very own Cupid. Who’s to say that a Gonk/Gnome can’t play Cupid. He may only have stumpy little legs and a big round body but in our diverse society he can be anything he wants to be, and this little Gonk wants to be Cupid.

He’s not too difficult to knit. You’d only need basic stitch knowledge i.e. knit, purl, stocking stitch, garter, cast off etc. His Bow and Arrows are knitted using the iCord method, with a wire insert. Full instructions are included.

He’s been a fun knit to do. I do hope you’ll enjoy him as much as I have.

He is knitted flat using 3mm needles and DK yarn

other items needed are:

2 Black Domed Buttons for Eyes
Toy Stuffing
Dried Rice, lentils or plastic beads (optional)
Dental Floss
Wire for the bow and arrows
small amount of embroidery thread
