These Baby Gnomes are ready for their Thanksgiving play! They stand between four and a quarter and six and a quarter inches tall to the tip of their hats. Their outfits include the Pilgrim Boy tall hat and collar, the Pilgrim Girl mobcap and apron, and the Turkey gnome hat, tail and wattle. Fill their cornucopia with a few candies or nuts. Samples were made in worsted weight yarn, but you could make them in any gauge by adjusting the yarn weight and needle size. A quick project, and a good way to use small amounts of yarn.

Needles: sz 5 double points
Crochet hook sz F or G for apron ties
