This Scandinavian-looking gnome is knit in the round, with a jaunty slipped-stitch (mozaic) two-color hat, a very “gnomey” nose, and presents a Hygge vibe! This knit-along in two-sessions is a fun group project for knitters who want a very cute companion for their mantel or on their desk as a festive holiday decoration.
