Need-to-gnome:
- Discover all the materials and notions you need, as well as all the necessary know-how, including how to block, stuff and assemble your gnomes to create their distinct personalities.
- Each gnome has their own distinguishing features: choose from hats with earflaps, cablework, tassels or whimsical curled tips; choose outfits with colorwork details, stripes or cabling; create majestic beards with corkscrew curls or delicate loops, or even add some beard pockets!
- Suitable for confident knitters, the book contains all the necessary colorwork and cable charts, along with Sarah’s ‘Chart of Everything’: the ultimate guide to calculating the yarn weights you need for each and every gnome.
- Every gnome is made in two weights of yarn – fingering (4-ply) and light worsted (DK/8-ply) – so you can knit your chosen new friend in a small or medium size. Or both!
- Advice is given on how to adapt your gnomes to make them child-friendly, if you wish to make friends for the little ones in your life.
