.. an original
gift wrap for wine and sparkling wine bottles– an eye-catcher at every party.. for her a “bottle petticoat” and for him a “bottle suit with bow tie”, crocheted.
Leftover yarn can be used up wonderfully this way; w
e only need about 25 g per color for each bottle, so about 75 g of a
yarn for crochet hook size 2.5. For my set, I used leftover yarn from a 4-ply sock yarn for the red and black parts, and one skein of Catania (100% cotton) for the yellow parts on both bottles. If you crochet with Catania, this part will be a bit thicker, which is an advantage for the petticoat because it stands out better. Otherwise,
pretty much any yarn that is not labeled for a hook size thicker than 3.0 will work.
We also need a measuring tape, scissors, a yarn needle for sewing in ends, a stitch marker is helpful (a contrasting thread works too), and of course standard wine or sparkling wine bottles.
Both patterns are included in one PDF and are
illustrated in detail over 15 pages. The pattern is not a basic crochet course, but it does include a helpful link for those with less experience.
These
crochet skills are required:
