Looking for something different instead of the usual orange & black for Halloween. Of course you can use traditional colours but I thought I’d like something different this year.

15 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.

The gonk/gnome measure 10” tall from top of head to sole of shoe. As always the eyes are optional and the hats are always made so that the eyes aren’t needed. The body and head are made in one piece, legs are attached separately.

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

King Cole pricewise DK and King Cole luxury fur for the beard but any yarn and colour combinations can be used.
