Christmas Woodland Gonk Gnome

Explore our delightful 10-page knitting pattern designed for crafting adorable girl and boy gonks that stand 9 inches tall from the top of their heads to the soles of their shoes. This pattern is perfect for knitters who love working flat on 2 needles and comes complete with charming photos for your reference.

We believe in the spirit of sharing! You are welcome to sell finished products made from this pattern for charity or through hobby selling—just be sure to include the designer's details with each creation.

When it comes to gauge, don’t stress too much! The most important thing is to maintain a compact stitch to ensure that the stuffing remains hidden and your adorable gonks look neat and tidy. The materials I used in this pattern include yarns from Robin, King Cole Moments, Hayfield, and Marriner, but feel free to unleash your creativity with any yarn and color combinations that inspire you.

For knitting this pattern, you will need UK No 10 (3.25mm) and No 8 (4mm) needles (US sizes 3 and 6, respectively). Additionally, having a tapestry or darning needle on hand will make sewing up the pieces easier, and stitch markers are optional but can help keep track of your stitches. Don’t forget to grab some toy stuffing to bring your gonks to life!

Here are the suggested yarn amounts for each toy:

• 70g DK (8Ply) for the main body color
• 15g DK for a secondary color
• 15g King Cole Moments for added flair
• 15g DK for curls (optional)
• 15g DK for skin tone
• 2 x 10mm safety eyes (optional) – alternatively, you can create classic French knots for eyes
• Length of black yarn for additional eye detailing (optional)
• 2 x 15mm buttons (optional) for extra embellishment

Whether you're new to knitting or a seasoned pro, this pattern provides a fantastic opportunity to create whimsical decorations or thoughtful gifts. So gather your materials, choose your favorite colors, and let your creativity shine as you knit these delightful gonks!
