@exclusive authors,

These cute little gnomes can be arranged into a wonderful Advent calendar by sticking on numbered hearts (or stars). You can hide lots of lovely things inside for kids of all ages. They also make simply enchanting gifts for Secret Santa exchanges during the Christmas season. Filled with a few chocolates, jewelry, or other little treats, they’re sure to bring joy and make (children’s) hearts beat faster.

Plus, the gnomes have many other useful functions: 

• You can use them to wrap gifts (e.g., money, jewelry, candy, and much more).
• They’re a huge hit as egg cozies.
• They make a sweet little gift for young and old alike.
• They keep your knitting and crocheting supplies safe, such as buttons.
• They can also store jewelry inside them.
• They also make great Advent calendars.
• They’re a huge hit at kids’ birthday parties and are sure to bring lots of joy.
• And of course, they’re also a great toy for kids.

And wherever these cute (Christmas) gnomes are placed, they spread joy and good cheer! :-)
The recipients will be thrilled!

I’d rate the difficulty level as easy. You might just need a little patience and dexterity when shaping the faces.

Even beginners with basic skills can easily and quickly recreate these gnomes.

The individual steps are described in detail in the pattern. The PDF file is 21 pages long and includes 53 individual photos.

Socks in 6-ply Yarn – Tutorial with Charts for All Sizes




(Click the image to purchase/download )

Socks made from 6-ply sock yarn are slightly thicker—and therefore warmer—and, above all, knit faster than those made from 4-ply yarn. They’re usually preferred for house and bed socks, slippers, or even for hiking in mountain boots. Men love these socks in work boots.

This is essentially a sock-knitting tutorial , illustrated in detail using children’s socks in size 32/33 as an example.

All other sizes can be knitted according to the corresponding size charts for 6-ply sock yarn .


Included in the download :

• PDF sock-knitting pattern—illustrated step by step (22 pages)
• Baby sock chart for 6-ply sock yarn—for newborns up to shoe size 20
• Sock chart for 6-ply sock yarn—children’s socks up to adult shoe size 47

By the way:
For 4-ply sock yarns, there is a separate sock-knitting course with corresponding charts available here in my shop at https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/items/5603/sockenstrick-lehrgang-fuer-4-faediges-garn-alle-groessen-fuer-baby-kinder-damen-herrensocken

 

Scandinavian Christmas with ZONKO the house gnome and shelf sitter! During the Christmas season, gnomes are indispensable little helpers: they decorate the house, wrap the gifts, bake the cookies, and get up to all kinds of mischief on the side!

ZONKO is approx. 56 cm tall from the tip of his hat to the soles of his shoes and is knitted mostly in stockinette stitch in the round.

Materials:

• 1 ball of "Mille Colori Baby" by Lang Yarns
