Mrs Claus Gonk Gnome PDF Knitting Pattern

£3.60

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PDF Knitting Pattern

Behind every good man is a good woman, at least that is what I was taught growing up.

So, in my mind, Santa Claus has a really good woman working behind the scenes for him.

She’s warm and cuddly and an excellent cook. She has just baked a cherry pie ready for

Santa to arrive home after his Christmas Eve outing with his reindeer, and very long night shift.

She’s not too difficult to knit. You’d only need basic stitch knowledge i.e. knit, purl,

stocking stitch, garter, cast off etc.

She is knitted flat using 3mm needles and DK yarn. I’ve given her a lovely pair of glasses

and have included a link within the pattern to the ones I used.

I hope you’ll enjoy knitting her as much as I have.
