Turn your wine and champagne bottles into merry snowmen: a white knitted body with button tummy, bead eyes, a little orange nose, a bright striped scarf and a drawstring hat with pompoms. Make them in pink, green, blue, red or any colours you like – a fun wrapping for a bottle gift and a cheerful decoration for the festive table.
