Is there anything cuter than a gnome that can fit in a walnut? I don’t think so! This darling mini gnome is a VERY quick knit (8 sts in circumference)!

It is knit from the bottom to the top on double-pointed-needles. The nose is made with a bobble and the arms by picking up stitches and knitting i-cords. The gnome is stuffed with the ends as you go. It takes me about 20 minutes.

This mini gnome was cleverly designed by Wedina Schmidt, who adapted my Gnome Shearing Day pattern, so that she could have some cute, baby gnomes. When I saw how darling they were, I knew I had to write up the pattern and share it with everyone. Luckily Wedina agreed. Thank you so much Wedina!
