Add cosy Christmas charm to winter stitching with this festive gnome, shown in a patterned jumper and Santa hat, holding hanging bauble and star ornaments. The long white beard, round pink nose, pom-pom hat and little boots give it that classic gnome look, while the red, green, gold and white palette keeps it rooted firmly in Christmas. It suits anyone who likes cute seasonal embroidery with a bit more detail than a simple outline motif.
With 10 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, this design has a rich, filled-in look that stands up well on sweatshirts, Christmas cushions, tote bags and stocking fronts. The polka dots and wavy stripe patterns in the jumper add texture and movement, so it works especially well on plain fabrics where those details can do the talking. It would also sit nicely in the centre of a festive apron or on the front of a gift sack where the full character can be seen.
