Happy Halloween Gonk Gnomes

Are you looking to add a unique twist to your Halloween decorations this year? Step away from the traditional orange and black and explore our delightful gonk/gnome knitting pattern, guaranteed to bring an unconventional spirit to your holiday festivities! This pattern features a 15-page guide complete with photographs for easy reference, so you can confidently create your very own whimsical Halloween gnome. The project is worked flat on two needles, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels.

Each gonk/gnome measures 10 inches tall from the top of the head to the sole of the shoe, offering a charming addition to your seasonal decor. The eyes are optional, giving you the flexibility to customize your piece; however, the hats are designed so that they work perfectly without eyes. For this pattern, the body and head are crafted in one seamless piece, while the legs are added separately for ease of construction.

For this project, we recommend using King Cole Pricewise DK for the body and King Cole Luxury Fur for the beard, although feel free to experiment with any yarn and color combinations to make your gnome truly unique. A list of materials includes UK No 10 (3.25mm) and No 8 (4mm) needles, along with tapestry or darning needles for sewing up. You'll want DK/8ply yarn in rust, purple, and green (50g each), along with 20g of skin tone yarn, 10g of King Cole Faux Fur in Badger for the beard, and optional 12mm safety eyes.

This pattern is not only fun to create but also allows you to sell your finished gnomes, provided that proper credit is given to the designer. Whether you’re making them for charity, as gifts, or to boost your holiday displays, these adorable gnomes are sure to capture hearts and add a touch of whimsy to any setting. Unleash your creativity this Halloween with unique colors and styles that set your gnome apart from the rest!
