The Gnome Wine Bottle Topper is a free crochet pattern by Nana’s Crafty Home!

Oh my goodness – could this gnome be any cuter?? I fell in love with him the minute I saw him – and I know you will, too!

This pattern works up absolutely so quickly – made from a small crochet triangle with the ends folded and crocheted together. The nose is crocheted separately, sewn to the inside of the hat and then sew a small section of faux fur to the inside of the hat. Easy, peasy – you could make several of these in a night! Perfect for all of your yarn scraps, too!

These little guys would be a great way to present a bottle of wine or Champagne for a party or as a gift – everyone is going to love them. They may end up being the hit of the party! 😉 I mean, who doesn’t love a gnome, right?

I know mine are going to be making an appearance in the gift baskets we give away this year. I am sure they will bring a smile to every recipient!

I made mine with Yarnspirations Caron Simply Soft yarn* but you could certainly substitute with any yarn (cotton or acrylic) – great way to use up what you already have on hand. You could make in traditional Christmas holiday colors or these would be great year round, too.

I think these little guys would be a hot seller at craft shows, too!

Rows 6 – 43:  continue repeating rows 4 – 5.  (St count at end of row 43 = 44)

Do not fasten off.

Fold long edges of hat together, sc evenly along edge through both ends of hat to join together.

Fasten off.  Weave in ends.

Nose (worked in seamless rounds)

Round 1:  With Color B, 6 sc st in MC, place a stitch marker in the 1st sc made.  Do not join with sl st to 1st st after last sc st.  (6)

Note:  Continue moving up your stitch marker to the 1st st of each round.

Round 2:  2 sc in each st.  (12)

Round 3:  *1 sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next st* repeat between * * to end. (15)

Round 5:   sc2tog 6 times. Join with sl st to first st. (6). Fasten off.  Pull yarn through last st, sew yarn end through front loop of each of the 6 st, pull tight to close the circle. Note:  I recommend stuffing the nose right before the last sc2tog.

Fasten off. Weave in remaining end.

With tapestry needle and a long strand of Color A, sew nose to front inside bottom edge of hat.   

Cut faux fur material to size desired for beard approx 4” wide at top x 4.5” long to tip.  Taper cut slightly going towards bottom of beard.  With embroidery thread, sew top of beard to bottom edge of the inside of hat behind nose.
