Celebrate the season’s festivities with this traditional Scandinavian Julbock and Garntomtar.

In older Scandinavian society, a popular Christmas and New Year’s prank was to place a Julbock (a Christmas goat) in a neighbour’s house without them noticing? Do you think you can sneak this knitted one into your home without anyone being any the wiser?

Make the sweet little Garntomtar (yarn gnomes) to hang on your tree, mantelpiece, or even give as stocking fillers or New Year’s gifts – the festive possibilities are endless!
