Be my Valentine Gonk Gnomes
Is love truly in the air, or does it bring out your devilish side? Introducing the charming "Be My Valentine" gonk/gnome knitting pattern, crafted flat on 2 needles. This delightful 12-page written pattern comes complete with high-quality photos for your reference, making it easy to follow along as you create your own festive decoration.
What’s even better? I encourage you to sell the finished products from my patterns for charity or through hobby selling. Just remember to include the designer details to credit the original creator!
This enchanting "Be My Valentine" gonk/gnome measures approximately 8 inches tall from the top of its adorable head to the sole of its stylish shoe. While gauge isn’t crucial for this project, it’s vital to ensure your stitches are compact—this way, you can prevent the stuffing from showing through.
I used James Brett and King Cole Moments yarn for my creation, but feel free to explore any yarn and color combinations that inspire you! Unleash your creativity with your favorite shades to make this project uniquely yours.
