Felted Wine Bottle Cozy
Recently I was looking online for a felted wine bottle cozy, but couldn’t find anything that really sounded the way I wanted mine to be so I took it upon myself to create an easy wine bottle cozy pattern. Voila! Incase you’re interested here’s how it came together. :) It’s not rocket science, but it worked quite well.
Materials
8mm double pointed needles (set of 4)
Colour A: 1/2 ball Patons Classic Merino Wool
Colour B: Small amount of contrasting wool.
Instructions
Make Base
Cast on 40 stitches using a provisional cast on, with colour A.
Join in the round being careful not to twist stitches.
Round 1 & 2: Knit
Round 3: k2, k2tog around.
Round 4: knit
Round 5: k1, k2tog around.
Round 6: knit
Round 7: k2tog around.
Round 8: knit
Round 9: k2tog around. (5 sts remaining)
Cut yarn leaving a 6″ tail, weave tail through remaining stitches.
Make Rolled Edge
Undo provisional cast on, putting all 40 stitches back onto 3 double pointed needles.
Using colour B and with left needle pick up the stitch four rows below; knit together the picked up stitch with the next stitch on the needle.
Repeat for all 40 stitches.
Make Body
Switch back to colour A.
Work in stockinette stitch for 35 rows.
Switch to colour B.
Knit two rows and then bind off.
Weave in all ends and felt.
Nifty.. but why does your wine need a cozy? does it get cold in the winter?
Super cute!
Hey that’s really cute and it looks nice in my kitchen. Thanks for that. I was surprised how cool it kept the wine.
Really Cute idea !!!!
Makes a nice gift when bringing a bottle of wine to someones House!!
I’m going to make my father (the old wino!) some of these to give to his friend when he goes to see them. I hope he likes them, if not his friends will think they are unusual – and will enjoy the contents anyway. I can see these cozies making the rounds and eventually being returned to Dad with the requisite contents!
