Enchanting friends to knit, full of magic and mischief

Meander along untouched trails in the heart of Grimblewood Forest and discover 8 remarkable little gnomes to knit.

The book explores the key materials, tools and know-how you will need to get started.

Plus 8 patterns for the distinguished creatures that live in Grimblewood. From Gnatalia, the garment historian (who works for the Ladybug Queen) to Gnoddy who loves a cup of acorn and chanterelle tea, here is a charming circle of gnomes to knit and befriend.

Each pattern is written for two different weights of yarn: 4ply (fingering) and DK (light worsted) so you can knit your chosen gnome in a small or medium size. Or both!
