Beary Cozy Gnome
Gneddy is comfortable with comfort. She’s learned that it’s best not to take life too seriously, and that an oversized sweater sets her up for success. Her hat collection isn’t large compared to most gnomes, but she prizes playful expression and seeks out hats that make her smile.
Her ears are a modification of a bobble, and because they're knit right on you don't have to worry about getting placement right during assembly!
Many tutorial videos provided.
