There’s gnome-body like these two woodland friends.
Whether you prefer a sunny yellow hat or a classic red, these gnomes are the perfect quick project to brighten up your shelf.

The pattern is written in English and uses U.S terminology.
A basic knowledge of stitches is advised but instructions for special stitches are included.

You can easily substitute the yarn in the pattern for another. If changing ply simply adjust your hook size accordingly. This will however affect the finished size.
