Knitalong Parts ( 5 )

  • Gonkalong Part One: Reindeer Gonk

    It’s time for another festive group project – and this time, we’re creating a whole family of knitted gnomes! In each part of this five-pattern gonkalong, we’ll be adding another member to the gang – with a reindeer, a snowman, a pair of elves, Santa Claus, and Mrs Claus to make. Each one requires only small amounts of yarn, so they’re perfect for using up oddments from projects of the past.

  • Gonkalong Part Two: Snowman Gonk

    How did you get along with our first festive gonk? This week we’re casting on once again and making a sweet little snowman gonk, complete with a top hat and classic orange carrot nose. As with the other parts of this project, he can be made using oddments of yarn from your DK stash – just make sure they all knit to the same tension to achieve accurate results.

  • Gonkalong Part Three: Mrs Claus

    Say hello to the third gnome knitting pattern in our festive Gonkalong, we hope you loved making our reindeer and snowman gonks! In this third part we’re casting on for another fun figure – Mrs Claus. She has a shock of curly loop stitch hair, so this instalment’s pattern is the perfect mini-make for those who haven’t tried out this nifty technique before.

  • Gonkalong Part Four: Santa Claus

    It’s time to bring another cute character to your Christmas gonk knitalong, and this time we’re adding perhaps the most important of all – Santa Claus himself! He’s wearing his classic red suit, complete with a black belt and fur-trimmed hat. And of course, he wouldn’t be complete with his white fluffy beard. Ho ho ho, let’s get started!

  • Gonkalong Part Five: Elf Gonks

    We can’t believe we’ve reached the end of this year’s festive Gonkalong already! We hope that you’ve enjoyed taking part and creating a collection of fun knitted gonks that can be displayed proudly or given as gifts to loved ones. Don’t forget to share your progress with us over on the Let’s Knit Together Facebook group – we can’t wait to see all your finished gnomes. Now, it’s…
