About this pattern
Dasher is a gnome dressed as a reindeer. Two tan antlers stand up on his brown hat, his cream beard is soft and full, and his nose is a shiny red ball. At almost 6 inches he is a little taller than our other gnomes, so he stands out under the tree. Make a pair with a Nordic gnome for a Christmas shelf.
A handmade holiday gift that kids love, and at about 5.75 in (15 cm) tall it is small enough to make a few before Christmas.
