Speedy and fun to knit with two yarns held together.

Gnectar’s house is nestled in a dell with very good soil. Tall rhubarb plants shade his southern windows in summer, and a thicket of raspberry bushes shields the house from the north winds in winter. If you’re ever invited to his house for scones and jam, be sure to accept!

The Ravelry download is available in English, Spanish, and French. The German version is available in the Germany language edition of the book “Wichtel aus dem Weihnachtswunderwald: Bezaubernde Freunde zum Stricken”.

Fingering/DK
Like all gnomes in this book, Gnectar is shown in both fingering and DK weight yarn. Gauge, needle information, height, and yardage details are provided for both in the book. Check out the “Chart of Everything” in the photos.

(Knitting instructions are identical for the fingering and DK weight versions.)

A not-so-hidden ninth gnome in the book can be made with this pattern Just use one strand of yarn rather than two, and the needles and the gauge/tension of the relevant weight gnome from another pattern in this book.
