I think most of us will have memories of a great teacher or teaching assistant. So I thought why not create something for them to say thank you.

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 8” tall from top of head to sole of shoe. The apples measure 6” with facial features and 5” without facial features. Pencil measure 5.5 x 2.5”

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

I used Yarnsmith create, Stylecraft and King Cole moments but any yarn and colour combinations can be used.
