A sweet family of gnomes are yours for the knitting. Their bodies are worked seamlessly on double pointed needles in the round, while their hats and baby sling are worked on straight needles each with a single seam.

Gauge is not important, but will determine whether you need more or less yarn. Yarn needed if using gauge of 6 stitches per 1 inch:

130 yards of Main Color for bodies and hats
25 yards of Skin Color for faces
25 yards of Contrasting Color for baby sling

Three sizes of gnomes are given:

Large - Mama/Papa
Medium - Child
Small - Baby
