For the Underground Crafter Christmas in July Make-Along, my contribution is the “Ho Ho Merlot” Bottle Boot. Hey, even Santa needs a glass of wine from time to time, am I right? So why not leave it in his boot in the German tradition of St. Nicholas?

This boot can also be filled with candy, a festive Christmas poinsetta or cactus.

This pattern is for crochet only.

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