Second in a series of 7 patterns for HAND-KNITTED GIFT WRAPS. What better way is there to present a gift item than in a hand-knitted gift bag? The thoughtfulness that went into the gift can be extended to the gift wrap, and this will enhance the recipient’s happiness and appreciation. Well-planned presentation adds to the joy of the gift-giving experience for the gifter as well as for the giftee. And who among us has cleaned up all that expensive wrapping paper after a holiday celebration and not thought about the wastefulness? We live in an age when people are growing more concerned and conscientious about environmental issues and the need to avoid pointless waste. Stash busting, another ecologically sound and responsible choice, is an important feature to consider when knitting gift wraps, as well. Use stash or yarns left-over from other projects and turn them into beautiful gift wrappings. This pattern includes design charts for four different wine bottle sweaters. Once your gift is received, the recipient can use it to wrap a bottle of wine she intends to gift to someone else. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Share the joy! None of the wine sweaters uses more than 40g of yarn, and two of them use less than 25g total.
