Get groovy with my Disco Gnome Sweater and Beanie patterns! This funky design features whimsical gnomes busting moves amidst disco balls and vibrant lights. Perfect for adding some retro flair to your wardrobe, whether you’re hitting the dance floor or just spreading some gnome-tastic vibes. Let’s get the party started!

This sweater is seamless, worked top down and in the round using sock/fingering weight yarn. The sample yoke has colourwork with the gnome and disco floor using up to 4 colours in the round. However, I have included charts for 3 or 2 colours in the round as well. There is a link in the pattern for help with stranding with more than two colours.
