Berchta Gnome

This knitted gnome was based on the dwarf design of Jean Greenhowe in Knitted Toys. I conceived of her as the Norse deity Berchta (Perchta), who is connected with fiber arts and the coming of the winter snow. Because of her association with fiber craft, Berchta was the first gnome to get hands with articulated fingers. Her cloak has a Hagal rune pattern representing the snowflake.
