Summer Vibes gonk gnomes

Discover our delightful 14-page knitting pattern featuring step-by-step photos for your reference! This unique pattern is designed to be worked flat on two needles and includes instructions for creating three different adorable gonk gnomes. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, these whimsical gnomes are a fantastic project to add to your collection.

Our charming gonks stand between 10” to 12” tall, measured from the top of their head to the sole of their shoe. You can use any double knitting yarn that you prefer, allowing for creativity and personalization. Although gauge isn't crucial, we recommend a compact stitch to ensure that the stuffing doesn’t show through your finished product. Don’t worry if you’re new to knitting; our easy-to-follow pattern and photos will guide you every step of the way!

For this project, you will need UK No 10 (3.25mm) and UK No 8 (4mm) needles (US sizing: 3 and 6 respectively), along with a tapestry or darning needle for sewing up. Don’t forget the toy stuffing to give your gnomes the perfect shape, and you might want to include 10mm safety eyes—three pairs in total—to add a touch of character and charm to your gnomes.

As for materials, here’s a suggested color breakdown for your gnomes: 70g DK (8Ply) black for the bodies, 60g DK purple, 60g DK green, 40g DK red for some festive flair, 30g DK skin tone for their faces, and 35g DK white for accents. You can even utilize 5g DK yellow for fun details! For an extra touch of whimsy, consider using tinsel or faux fur for their beards to make them truly stand out.

We encourage you to share your finished products! You are welcome to sell items crafted from our patterns for charity or as a hobby seller, but please remember to include the designer's details with all sales.
