Enjoy the Holidays and don’t leave home without a gift for your host or hostess!! This fun and easy crochet wine cozy is a free beginner pattern that can be done in an afternoon!
You will need:
- Size K/6.50mm crochet hook
- Worsted weight size four medium craft yarn in red, white. and one other color for your pompoms. I used my favorite Red Heart Super Saver Solids in Paddy Green, Burgundy (I call it red in this pattern), and White
- A 1.5 inch diameter pom pom craft maker
- Tapestry/yarn needle for weaving in loose ends
- Scissors
Instructions
With Red, ch4, then ss in 1st ch made to create a ring.
Rnd1: Ch3, dc11 into the ring, ending ss into top of 3ch to close this rnd.
Rnd2: Ch3, dc1 into the same sp as 1st ch made, dc2 in next dc and in each around for a total of 24dc this rnd, ending ss into top of 3ch to close this rnd. By now you will begin to see your circle starting to form a cup shape – this is good.
Rnd3: Ch1, sc1 into next dc and into each around for 24 total sc this rnd, on 24th sc pull your white yarn through the final pull-through-step of your sc stitch to switch colors, leave the red yarn dangling down the backside to pick up later.
Rnd4: With white yarn only sc1 into the next red sc and in each around for a total of 24 white sc, on 24th sc pull your red yarn through the final pull-through-step of your sc stitch to switch colors, leave the white yarn dangling down the backside to pick up later.
Rnd5: With red yarn only sc1 into the next white sc and in each around for a total of 24 red sc, on 24th sc pull your white yarn through the final pull-through-step of your sc stitch to switch colors, leave the red yarn dangling down the backside to pick up later.
Rnds 6- 43: Rep rounds 4 and 5 to continue the red/white spiral. After your 43rd round, tie off.
Use a tapestry/yarn needle to weave in your loose ends.
Turn your wine cozy right side out so that the “pretty side” is facing out.
Drawstring:
- Ch 30 holding two strands (red/white) at the same time, then tie off. Leave a few inches of tails at each end.
- Measuring at about the 24th stripes from the bottom of your wine cozy, use your crochet hook to begin weaving your new chain through that stripe 4 stitches apart to create a drawstring that can be cinched around the wine bottle.
- Use your pom pom maker to craft two 1.5 inch diameter pom poms in your choice of color, I chose green, to attach to the ends of your drawstring.
- Finally, draw up your pom poms to the front of your bottle so that your drawstring makes a loop at the back for carrying (see photo for visual).
- Roll down the neck of the wine cozy like a turtleneck.
