Never Not Gnoming

Gnomes! Whimsical, dapper, endlessly delightful. I find making them so addictive that my teenaged son started to joke that I needed my own hashtag: #nevernotgnoming. Once I started I could hardly stop, and soon I was improvising ways to make them faster and simpler.
You’ll get three gnome patterns in one: a small gnome ornament, a medium gnome that stands, and a larger gnome to rule whimsically and benevolently over all other gnomes. You also get 2 beard styles - horizontal and vertical.
Gnicholas is an ornament, with a rounded bottom and a passion for birding and perfecting his homemade granola. Gnatasha is about the same size, but plumper and she stands on her own. She’s from Gnew Zealand and likes artisanal pickles. Gnorbert, on the other hand, loves tree forts and hang gliding. (I can’t seem to stop knitting them or giving them rich personal interiors.)
