Gnome Hat Free Knitting Stitch designed by Knitting Bee. A new stitch is up for Free Pattern Friday!
I really enjoy playing around with lace and how you can pretty much come up with anything, the possibilities are infinite! I am loving how this stitch looks like cute little gnome hats, hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
This cute little stitch pattern looks quite nice on the back side of the work too!
Abbreviations:
