Two Sizes, Five Colours
Every gnome is knit in two yarn weights — fingering (4-ply) for a smaller size, or light worsted (DK/8-ply) for a medium — so you can choose your scale, or knit both. Best of all, only 5 colours are needed per gnome, so there's no need to invest in a rainbow of shades to get stunning results.
Whether you're adding to your own shelf or knitting a one-of-a-kind gift, these are the kind of projects that become heirlooms. Grab your needles and step into Grimblewood.
