Bring holiday cheer to every place setting. Designed by Studio Almedahls, this cloth napkin features the cheerful tomte (or nisse), the little bearded gnome in a pointed red hat who, according to Swedish folklore, watches over the home and brings good luck at Christmastime. Woven from a linen-cotton blend, it has the natural texture of linen and the softness of cotton, and at about 17¾" square, it’s a generous size for dinner. It’s a festive, reusable choice for Christmas Eve dinner, holiday brunch, or a cookie-swap gathering, and it coordinates with the Tomtenisse tablecloth and runner for a fully dressed Scandinavian holiday table. Fold one into a napkin ring with a sprig of evergreen, or tuck a few into a basket with homemade treats for a charming hostess gift.
