All parts are knitted flat and sewn up at the end. No circular knitting is required. The outfits are not removable.
The gnomes share the same basic body structure and come with two fair isle hats. These patterns are relatively straightforward, making them ideal for practicing colorwork, especially if you are new to it. One pattern consists of a 7-stitch repeat over 7 rows, while the other features a 7-stitch repeat over 9 rows. Feel free to customize by substituting different repeats to create your own unique designs.
