❄️ Gnome sweet gnome (or ho ho ho)

One pattern, two adorable looks. Make a little garden gnome costume, or switch it up for a tiny Santa with a fluffy white beard. It’s sized from newborn to child 5, so the whole crew can match.

The set includes the hat, beard and overalls, with instructions for both the gnome and Santa versions.
