Notes

MJ has generously provided the pattern for free in a youtube tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJP4sGUaUVI

Because I used BT Tweed and it seems a little on the thin side of #4 ww, I used 4 strands throughout the bodies. My measurements were the same, so I’m glad I did that. Also, I didn’t like how the 3 were working up with the 8mm hook (too holey).

Circumference:
Head 13 1/2”
Body 18”

I stuffed with both stuffing and yarn ends. For weight, I used 10 large glass flat beads in each.

On the first one, I made the (red) hat per instructions, but it’s a little too stretched over the head. So for the 2nd one, I’m using one less st on the head (29 instead of 30) that should work to keep the red hat from stretching, and I’m making a second hat per instructions or maybe a row or two more.

For poms, I used the 1 3/8” (35mm) small pink Clover pom pom maker.

Got the beards and noses glued on before work. The beards are a bit on the small size, but they still work ok.

Yarn used for gnome body/head with 4 strands of BT Tweed: ~4.4 oz each / ~280 yards

Started 3rd body over my lunch break plus about 2 minutes once I got back to my office. Made it through 2nd round of decreases for the body. I’m thinking I need to stop here and stuff it.

On the 3rd hat using Eddie Bauer Cozy Camp in Thyme, I made adjustments on the join to try to keep it a little straighter. I didn’t think to start right away, so it is quite slanted in some places but overall I’m happy with the way it turned out.
