This pattern is for a Gnome knitted toy, and includes an additional pattern for a small watering can that he can ‘hold’ on his arm.
The finished doll sits at approximately 6.5 inches tall.

This pattern is suitable for experienced intermediate knitting ability, assuming an understanding of basic stitches and common knitting terms.
This pattern will require the following skills;

It has been completed using the following recommended yarns:
