Mooseltoe Gnomes

*Deep in the snowy pines of the Northern Glades live Bjorn Mooseltoe and Freya Twinklestar, gentle moose gnomes with hearts as warm as woollen mittens. Every winter, they can be found nestled in their pinecone cottage beside a crackling fire sipping hot chocolate with their woodland friends. Bjorn and Freya absolutely adore the holiday season, when they decorate their cottage with sprigs of mistletoe and twinkly Christmas stars. It’s said that anyone lucky enough to share a hug beneath Bjorn’s antlers will enjoy a year filled with warmth, laughter, and cozy happy moments!* **Measurements:** Bjorn - sitting height of ~20 cm (8 inches) to top of head (without antlers); Freya – sitting height of ~30 cm (12 inches) to top of hat. **Materials:** Worsted Weight Yarn: Main: Impeccable Tweed (Loops and Threads, 85 g), Taupe Tweed, ~ 1 skein Boots, Mitts, Antlers: Impeccable Tweed (Loops and Threads, 85 g), Chocolate Tweed, < 1 skein Bjorn Hat: Impeccable Solid (Loops and Threads, 127.5 g), Claret, < 1 skein Braids: Impeccable Solid (Loops and Threads, 127.5 g), Chocolate Brown, < 1 skein Bulky Weight Yarn: Cuffs, Faux Fur (Loops and Threads, 297 g), Gold Frost, < 1 skein Freya Hat, Latte Cakes (Caron, 257 g), Coconut Cream, < 1 skein 4.00 mm (size 6) double pointed needles (5 needles – one can be a size down if you don’t have 5 [see notes in ‘join tube’ under Techniques]) 5.00 mm (size 8) double pointed needles [only used for Bjorn’s hat] 2 x 1-2” wooden balls (shown with 2” wooden balls) Toy stuffing 2 x Beanbags (optional, but recommended) Tapestry needle Faux fur (10 cm x 10 cm) Craft glue Stitch holder or spare cable needle
