What you need to know

Our knitted gnome pattern is just the project you've been looking for this Christmas!

Floki the Christmas gnome is here to spread a little joy, whether you make him as a characterful addition to your Christmas window display, or present him as a new gnome companion to a lucky little one. Dressed to the nines in his delightful hat and colourwork jumper, our knitted gnome is more accurately known as a tomte, a Scandinavian mythological character reputed to protect the farmer and his family and ward off misfortune, especially at night time. With his lovely fluffy beard and lucky credentials, Floki will certainly make a very welcome new addition to the family!
