This PDF knitting pattern has full instructions to knit this gorgeous Bee Gnome/Gonk. He stands 34 cms high (13.5”) to the top of his hat.
This pattern is written over 6 A4 Pages (including front cover) and includes full knitting and making up instructions along with pictures for clarification and is broken down row by row when shaping. The stitches used are stocking stitch and garter stitch. Therefore, I would say that this pattern is suitable for the intermediate knitter or a beginner who is confident using finer needles and dk yarn.
