🦘 AUSSIE BUSH GNOMES VOL 1 — 12 original knitting patterns (PDF, 52 pages) 🌿
Twelve tall-hat gnomes knitted for the Australian bush — the all-season crew from our Aussie family shop. There is a swagman with his billy boiling somewhere off-page, a koala keeper carrying the branch so the baby does not have to let go, a drover with a pup at his heel, and a wombat who has sat down at his gnome's feet and will not be moved. Every gnome shares one honest skeleton (a 30-stitch body, a tall cone hat — or a wide-brim Akubra for the two working gnomes — a tapered beard and a round nose sitting on top of it), so you learn the bones once and then spend your evenings on the fun part: the characters.
These twelve were designed for the bush as Australians actually meet it — gum leaves crushed between your fingers on a track, wattle bursting gold along the roadside, a kookaburra laughing from somebody's hat, and a basket of lilly-pillies gathered with the traditional ratio observed (some for the basket, some for the cook). Knit one for a shelf, a pair for a gift, or work through the whole dozen and line them up along a windowsill or bookcase: a little bush parade that works all year round, no season required.

Each of the 12 patterns includes:
• A dedicated photo page for its own gnome
• A pattern-at-a-glance box (type, finished size, pieces, colours, level)
• Full round-by-round instructions with stitch counts on every round — every ladder is arithmetic-checked
• Step-by-step assembly, including how each prop or animal mate is attached
• A maker's tip from the design table
They make wonderful gifts for anyone who loves Australia, the bush or a good gnome — knit one to match its human (every family has a swagman and a pavlova-grade berry gatherer) and watch it become the present everybody talks about. A full set also makes a charming nature-table or classroom display for Aussie wildlife units.
Skill level: Confident beginner. DK (8-ply) yarn, 3.25 mm (US 3) double-pointed needles, knitted in the round (flat pieces are clearly marked "worked flat"). Finished size: about 15 cm (6 in) body, 28 cm (11 in) total with tall hat.
