Add some festive cheer to the home with a cute Santa Gonk. You can also make a Gonk for any occasion just by changing the colours, or even make a fun hairy Gonk.

This pattern is written using US terms and includes a chart to convert into UK terms. I have used photographs to help with instructions throughout. A printer friendly version will also be included.

This pattern can be made with any yarn size. The yarn size you choose will determine the size of your finished Gonk. Keep to the same size yarn for each colour. As a guide, using DK yarn with 4mm hook will produce a Gonk approximately 12cm tall. Using Bulky (UK chunky) yarn and 6mm hook produces a Gonk approximately 17cm tall with the point of hat folded over.

I’m making FREE clothing and accessory patterns to compliment this original Santa Gonk design.
