Troi Gnome knitting pattern (English)
Troi Gnome is 2023’s knitted gnome joining the growing holiday gnome family alongside Gnomad, Roosi Gnome and Knit Gnome .
It’s a cute knit holiday gnome wearing a sweater inspired by the traditional Estonian Kihnu Troi fisherman’s sweater. If you are a fan of Aleks Byrd’s Troi sweater, you’ll love making a mini me gnome version with Troi Gnome! Troi Gnome brings the same techniques used in a traditional Troi sweater of stranded colourwork knitting with Kihnu vits knitted braids.
Create a gnome in different sizes by changing the yarn weight and needle size.
