Gnatty The Unexpected Gnome

Gnatty enjoys hiking. Long hikes, short meanders, brisk walks in the wind, he does them all. His absolute favourite is multi-day backpacking trips in the snow. As you might expect, finding a sleeping bag to fit a gnome body is a little tricky, what with gnomes coming in so many shapes and sizes. I really want people to play with the gnomes in the book [The Gnomes of Grimblewood][1] That’s why half of the gnomes have hats and bodies that can be mixed and matched! So I’ve mixed-and-matched up a gnome for everyone to knit. Gnatty is as excited as I am to see your versions. Are you new to gnoming? I've got a playlist of tutorials that covers all sorts of gnome basics, from materials needed, to stuffing, to dealing with ends: [Gnome Schooling][2] **Materials** •Yarn Miss Babs Katahdin 437 (100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester Wool); 100g/437yd/400m; colours shown: YARN A: gold (Old Gold) YARN B: red (Corset) YARN C: cream (Naked) Approximate Yardage (with a 15% buffer) YARN A: 31yd/28m, approximately 7g YARN B: 74yd/67m, approximately 17g YARN C: 18yd/16m, approximately 4g •Notions yarn needle, stitch markers, 1 removable stitch marker, a beginning of round marker, roving/polyfill stuffing, weighted stuffing like poly pellets/aquarium gravel/dried beans •Needles 2.25mm (US 1, UK 13) and 2.5mm (US 1.5, UK 12/13) needles for working in the round (or size needed to get gauge + one size larger) This pattern has been tech edited.
