Crochet Bottle Wrap Free Pattern

As we approach the holiday season, it’s time that us crocheters get some gifting makes on our hook and I have a real treat for you today. I’m delighted to be welcoming back Lucy from @craftingbylucy who’s bringing us this AMAZING crochet bottle wrap perfect for gifting your loved ones their favourite tipple this season.

So, are you thinking about more sustainable ways to wrap your Christmas Gifts this year? From the sparkly yarn to the striking design, you won’t want to waste a moment in hooking up this crochet bottle wrap.
