Crossing Over Wine Bottle Cozy

The crossing over wine bottle cozy was designed for Christmas, however, it is suitable for giving gifts of wine throughout the year. Simply crochet it in any seasonal or fun colors to match the occasion. Also, the cozy can be crocheted to any size that you need by increasing the diameter.

For the strings I used fun fur, but you could just as easy crochet up some chains and weave them through.

Skill Level: Easy

Materials:
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver (Optional Fun Fur for the Strings)
Crochet Hook: H/8-5.00mm

Gauge: 3″ across first 3 rounds.

Finished Size: Fits a wine bottle that is just under 3″ in diameter.
