The Corkscrew Gnome Bottle Topper is a whimsical way to add a little holiday cheer to your bar decor. I love decorating with wine bottles, so making them more festive (and more magical) is always in mind.

This pattern is for crochet only.

All patterns are written in English, in US terms using Craft Yarn Council abbreviations.
