The Gnomes of Grimblewood

From author Sarah Schira comes an enchanting book on knitted gnomes! Filled with beautiful photography you will find everything you need to recreate these whimsical creatures.

• Discover all the materials and notions you need, as well as all the necessary know-how, including how to block, stuff and assemble your gnomes to create their distinct personalities.
• Each gnome of these 8 gnomes has their own distinguishing features: choose from hats with earflaps, cablework, tassels or whimsical curled tips; choose outfits with colourwork details, stripes or cabling; create majestic beards with corkscrew curls or delicate loops, or even add some beard pockets!
• Suitable for confident knitters, the book contains all the necessary colourwork and cable charts, along with Sarah’s ‘Chart of Everything’: the ultimate guide to calculating the yarn weights you need for each and every gnome.
• Every gnome is made in two weights of yarn fingering (4-ply) and light worsted (DK/8-ply) so you can knit your chosen new friend in a small or medium size. Or both!
• Advice is given on how to adapt your gnomes to make them child-friendly, if you wish to make friends for the little ones in your life.
• A German version will be published at the same time.
• 4 of the patterns were written with mix-and-match hat and bodies to allow for improvisation and play.
