Turvin measure approx. 17 cm x 27 cm ( 7 in x 11 in )

It is worked in the round using double-pointed needles or circular needles with the magic loop technique.
The beard, hat and mittens are worked separately and sewn onto the body.
Turvin, unlike many other gnomes, has a head, so the hat can be removable, and you can also embroider eyes on the gnome if you wish.

Minimum skills:

• Knit and purl stitches
• Increases and decreases
• Circular knitting with DPNs or circulars (magic loop)
