Tomte (homestead man) is a solitary, mischievous domestic sprite sharing your happy home and keeping it safe and prosperous! May you always have a Tomte looking out for you!
This is a pattern for a Tomte and may be worked with any weight of yarn; the instructions are for any weight, plus there is a note to adjust size to your preference. The base of the Tomte is crocheted and the rest knitted with mittens, nose, and shoes cut from felt (templates included) and beard made from waste yarn. A familiarity (or curiosity) with basic crochet technique is helpful. This pattern includes photos to help you along your Tomte journey.

Mona Zillah - bunnymuff
Inspired by the environments around me, I strive to make relevant designs that are clever additions to any outfit; blending traditional and contemporary styles, with a focus on colourwork. Most bunnymuff patterns are easily adjustable for a personal best fit in an extended range of sizes. bunnymuff supports ethical sourcing and climate/people conscious buttons, wool stuffing, and other notions!
