The pattern describes the creation of cute bottle cover. The gnome consists of two parts: the head and the coat. Both parts are put on the bottle over the neck.

As main yarn you can use any colors. So the gnome will be used as table decor in different occasions (such as green for st.Patrick’s Day, the American flag colors for Flag Day, red for Christmas and so on).
