Welcome to the magical world of Springtime Whimsy Gnomes! This playful trio of knitted friends is here to bring a little charm, colour, and joy to your spring décor. Inspired by the fresh blooms, soft pastels, and gentle creatures of the season, each gnome has their own unique personality and whimsical details.

The smallest of the bunch is our mischievous Cat-Eared Gnome, proudly wearing a tall hat adorned with three delicate flowers — a subtle nod to the first blooms of spring.

Next comes the Unicorn Gnome, a little dreamer with a sparkling horn, soft white ears, and a cascade of colourful curls tumbling down his hat — perfect for those who believe in a little everyday magic.

Lastly, the largest of the trio is the Bunny Gnome, featuring an adorable intarsia bunny motif on its body, complete with floppy bunny ears and a sweet white rose nestled between two green leaves on its hat — a gentle giant of springtime wonder.

This pattern is knitted flat and seamed.
