Gonk & Hedgehog Christmas Tree Decorations Knitting Pattern PDF BB093

Create a charming collection of knitted gonk and hedgehog decorations for your Christmas tree with this festive knitting pattern.

The pattern includes two adorable stuffed designs. The round hedgehhog bauble has a soft, sparkly Tinsel Chunky body with a shaped beige knitted face and embroidered features. The gonk features a wonderfully fluffy tinsel beard, a rounded knitted nose and a tall pointed hat.

Instructions are included for both a plain hat with an optional embroidered snowflake and a striped hat worked by changing colour every two rows. Choose your favourite festive shades to create a coordinated set or use small amounts of leftover yarn for a colourful collection.

Both decorations are knitted flat on straight needles before being seamed and lightly stuffed. The Tinsel Chunky sections are worked in reverse stocking stitch, helping the fluffy yarn appear thicker and fuller.
