Meet Gnorman and Gnorma, A Yarn Story’s favourite knitting duo! Designed by our very own Aleks Byrd, these fun kits are a cinch to knit and make an ideal gift for loved ones. Each kit comes with John Arbon’s 100% merino Knit by Numbers DK to make a gnome that loves to lounge around in luxury, away from the perils of the garden!
There are two colourways to choose from – knit a gnome in Scandi-chic grey with a jaunty blue hat, or choose festive green with a fancy red hat.
Each kit contains the pattern to make either gnome, and also comes with the correct amount of yarn, stuffing and pipe cleaners (optional for the arms), mini knitting needles for the gnome and a greeting card. Knitting needles (size 3.5mm/US4 recommended) are not provided.
