What’s better than a gnome? A gnome with MITTENS! If you’ve ever wanted to knit a gnome, this is a great one to start with. It gives the opportunity to learn cables and i-cord, and is a good entry into the world of amigurumi. The finishing work is minimal, so don’t be intimidated by having to put everything together at the end. As a bonus, you can knit an ice cream for her to hold - thus the mittens in summer.
Supplies
