Christmas Gonk Wreath

Knitalong Parts ( 7 )

  • Christmas Gonk (Gnome) Wreath Part One

    Welcome to our latest knitalong! Over the next seven weeks, we’ll be bringing you a series of super cute characters and creations that can be used to decorate your Christmas wreath. They all use beginner-friendly stitches with a bit of shaping and simple colourwork. Each of the items for the wreath has a dual purpose, so don’t worry if you don’t fancy making a wreath, designer Nicola has…

  • Christmas Gonk (Gnome) Wreath Part Two

    Last week we introduced you to our newest knitalong, a fabulous wreath full of cute gonks and decorations. This instalment features an adorable reindeer gonk, who’s got himself in a bit of a tangle with the fairy lights! You’ll also find the instructions for a simple stripy Christmas tree which will sit in the inner circle of your wreath. Try not to overstuff your tree as you’ll need space…

  • Christmas Gonk (Gnome) Wreath Part Three

    We hope you’re enjoying our latest knitalong? Here’s another cutie to add to your collection – a Christmas Tree Gonk! We love the little baubles over his hat. These are worked separately and sewn on afterwards so you don’t need to worry about colourwork while you are knitting the hat. Don’t forget the sweet stocking and candy cane which will be used to decorate the lower section of your wreath.

  • Christmas Gonk (Gnome) Wreath Part Four

    There’s snow much more to come from our great knitalong! This part includes instructions for a delightfully dumpy snowman as well as some charming holly leaves and a bright red berry. The snowman’s hat is worked with the body, while the flat top and brim are knitted separately. Take time when making up to get the right amount of stuffing before adding the top of the hat. The leaves are worked…

  • Christmas Gonk (Gnome) Wreath Part Five

    We adore everything about this little fellow from his bright blue pom-pom to his little pointy ears. He’s also bringing us some figgy pudding – and as the song tells us, there’s no better way to wish someone Merry Christmas! Take time when stuffing your gonks, using small pieces of teased-out stuffing to avoid a lumpy finish.

  • Christmas Gonk (Gnome) Wreath Part Six

    As knitters, we know the joy of giving gifts to others and this colourful character seems to agree – just look at that neatly wrapped pressie! As with the other gonks in this series, the body, head and hat are worked together so you’ve just got one main seam to stitch up. Try to match your stripes while you sew to give a pro finish. The present in his hands is folded up diagonally so you only…

  • Christmas Gonk (Gnome) Wreath Part Seven

    There’s just one more character to make in our Christmas wreath KAL, inspired by the king of the North Pole himself, Father Christmas! Once he’s complete, it’s time to assemble your wreath. Follow the instructions given here or choose your own arrangement. Don't forget to share your photos in our Facebook group.
