Finished size: Mushroom House, 11cm, Mushroom 8cm, Gnome, 5cm, Mouse 3cm
This project requires one clear bauble each of 5 cm and 6 cm, which can be found at craft stores or purchased online.
The knitted mushrooms can be easily removed from the clear baubles, enabling you to find little gnome/mice inside the baubles.
For assembly and embroidery, use a chenille needle with a sharp point rather than a blunt-tipped darning needle.
The necessary knitting skills include the basic knit and purl stitches; however, please take care when assembling the project.
A crochet hook is used to create chains and does not need to be exactly 2.5 mm; knowledge of crochet techniques is not required.
