Cork Gnome Wedding!

Made for the champagne corks from Esther's hen party as a joke… but ended up actually being used on the cake!!! This is more of a colour work and slight stitch tweak of Made By Manne's pattern than an original, but here goes, my changes are in italics.

I adapted the pattern to do flat and sew up seam rather than knitting in round as I didn't have DP needles at that point. This was quite simple, just alternating knits with purls on even rows, but have detailed below.
