The toys are knitted round and that is why the pattern is recommended for Advanced Beginner Knitters.
The patterns includes instruction with pictures how to make 2 size of Waldorf Christmas Babies and 4 kind of hats + unlimited email help from me in case you get stumped.
Materials needed
• 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric. İ used Needles size US 2½ (3mm).
• White, grey and red yarn for gnomes. I used Nako Vison / 100% acrylic ; 100gr – 195m /
• Toy stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch holder
• White felt
All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams .
