There are well illustrated instructions for the different techniques used to make the gnomes, as well as useful tip boxes, along with a useful page of abbreviations, materials and equipment needed. There are patterns for nine gnomes, ranging from Gnoodles, the smallest gnome, to Gnatelia, the colourwork gnome, as well as other gnomes that feature cabling and lace-type patterns. The patterns are adaptable, with instructions and needle sizes given for both dk and fingering weight variations. They are great little projects and perfect for using up a stash of hand dyed and handspun yarn.
Each pattern is written in such a way that it is possible to mix and match between the gnomes - you can choose your own beard type and size, or shape of nose, as well as endless possible colour combinations and yarn types.
Gnoodles the Gnome has already joined my little household, and I envision more gnomes will soon be flying off my needles to join him. -- Anna Morgan * The Journal for Weavers, Spinners and Dyers *

Once upon a time, there was a knitter who loved gnomes. She was always cold and couldnt understand why she was knitting and knitting (and knitting) gnomes rather than cardigans. All she knew was that as she stitched on the beard and the gnome popped into itself, complete with a personality and a life history, she would instantly wonder about doing it again.
Sarah Schira is a knitting designer who loves gnomes. A lot.
Her gnome patterns routinely hit the top of Ravelrys Hot Right Now list, and she has an adoring gnome-loving following across multiple platforms. To her delight, thousands of knitters around the world have been #NeverNotGnoming with her.
When Sarahs not knitting gnomes, shes working on knitting accessories for everyday adventures, filming tutorials for her YouTube channel, and recording a podcast with her sister Katie which covers their favourite patterns, tea, knitting events and you guessed it gnomes.
Sarah lives in Manitoba, Canada.
