This reusable wine bottle carrier gives a special touch to your dinner party contribution, Valentine’s Day, anniversary, picnic, or any celebration. You can customize it with hanging hearts or glued/sewn on appliqués for a special touch. At the end, I also explain how you can make a pencil holder or set of coasters.

As yarn thickness can vary within the “super chunky/bulky” range, there are two options for you to follow, based on gauge. You have to measure after round 3 to determine which option to follow!

There is an image tutorial at the end (especially helpful for beginners) for you to visualize the process of making these items. If you don’t need the tutorial, you can save ink by only printing this instructions page.

Difficulty level: Beginner to Intermediate – pattern uses chain (ch), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), slip stitch (sl st), working hdc back loop only (hdcblo), and working in the round (rnd). Stitch count is included for each round.
