This little gnome sits 9 inches high to the tip of his hat. He is going to be loved by any gnome or fantasy loving person.

He is knitted using DK yarn (I used Stylecraft special DK) on 3mm needles apart from his hat, which is made using 3.75mm needle. He is knitted flat and seamed.
The pattern itself clearly written and has no complicated stitches or shaping. If you can knit, purl increase and decrease that is all you need to know. There are colour changes in his legs, but if you are worried by these, there is no reason you cannot use just one colour. I class the pattern as suitable for a confident beginner. There are many photos’ to help you along the way; I also add tips and suggestions where I think they may be useful.

These are the materials needed to make him.
