Gnelfy and Gnevie the Gnomes
Meet Gnelfy and his sister Gnevie, two adorable nisses, tomtes, or as we like to call them, gnomes! These delightful knitted figures are perfect for adding a whimsical touch to your home decor or as charming gifts for friends and family.
When knitted in Aran/Worsted Weight yarn, these enchanting gnomes measure approximately 13 inches (33 cm) from top to toe (excluding their whimsical hats). For those using Double Knit/Light Worsted Weight yarn, Gnelfy and Gnevie will stand about 11 inches (28 cm) tall, making them an ideal size for various settings. Any yarn can be used, but it’s crucial to maintain the same weight throughout each gnome to ensure a cohesive look.
For Gnevie’s luscious hair, we recommend using a soft faux fur yarn, such as King Cole Luxury Fur or James C Brett Faux Fur, both of which will provide an appealing texture. For Gnelfy’s beard, an eyelash yarn works exceptionally well. We suggest using Schachenmayr Brazilia for a fantastic effect.
These charming gnomes are knitted flat and then carefully assembled, with comprehensive directions and helpful photos included in this pattern to guide you through each step. They are knitted in one continuous piece from their adorable boots to the tops of their whimsical heads, while the arms and outfits are crafted separately. Throughout the project, we recommend using the mattress stitch for a seamless finish, ensuring your gnomes look polished and professional.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking for a fun project, Gnelfy and Gnevie's enchanting pattern is perfect for anyone who loves crafting unique decorative pieces. Download the pattern today and bring these delightful gnomes to life!
