How to Make a Wine Bottle Cover

Simple Wine Bottle Cover

Wine bottle covers are very easy to make and take very little time.  Here is the pattern I use to make mine:

WHAT YOU NEED:
-1 skein 4-ply worsted weight yarn (you don't need much) for body
-extra yarn for pom-poms using different colors
-yarn needle
-scissors
-size I 9 crochet hook
-pom-pom maker or just use a couple of your fingers


BODY
Chain 4, Slip Stitch to beginning loop, Chain 2
Double Crochet in center loop 12 times, join with beginning round Double Crochet using Slip Stitch, Chain 2
Double Crochet twice in each stitch around for a total of 24 Double Crochets, join to beginning round Double Crochet using Slip Stitch, Chain 2
Double Crochet into BACK loop in each stitch around for edging, Slip Stitch to beginning  round Double Crochet, Chain 2
For the next 16 turns:
Double Crochet in each stitch around, Slip Stitch to beginning round Double Crochet, Chain 2
To end:
Double Crochet in each stitch around, Slip Stitch to beginning round Double Crochet, tie off and hide tails

DRAWSTRING
Braid 3 strands of yarn to desired length (start with about an arm's length and go from there).  Tie off with only one knot on each end, leaving a little extra undone yarn.  Snake in between every other crochet stitch on the third row down from the body of your wine bottle cover until ends meet.  Make 2 pom-poms that are about 1".  To do that you can either use a pom-pom maker or wrap yarn around your fingers, tie off and cut the loops.  Tie pom-poms to the ends of your drawstring.
