Pretty Simple Santa Wine Bottle Cozy

This is my version for a crochet Santa wine cozy. It works up quick and fits a wine bottle that’s 3″ in diameter. It makes for a great gift idea during the Christmas holiday for just about anyone in your circle, including your parents, friends, neighbors, and even your boss.

You could also use this as a holiday decoration in the kitchen or with whatever display you have in your living room.

This crochet wine bottle cozy is for a complete Santa suit with a belt, necktie and collar. I’ve also included a cute hat, which you can use basically on any wine bottle without the bottom part. I added a cute pom pom to the top of the hat, which is easy to make using the same yarn as what you used on the hat.

If you want to make a Mrs. Claus, you could try a white yarn for the collar. Then instead of the necktie, make a little white bow.

Crochet Santa Wine Bottle Cozy – Pattern Information

This crochet wine bottle cozy is the perfect way to gift your bottles of wine during the Christmas holidays.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Materials

• Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver (#4) in Red, and small amounts of black, white and yellow.
• Crochet Hook: H/8-5.00mm
• Other: Measuring Tape, Scissors, Yarn Needle.

I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn in red, white and black. It is a medium worsted weight yarn that is readily available at most yarn stores.

It’s perfect for Santa, but for a Mrs. Claus, you could try a softer yarn. Especially for the collar and the brim of the hat, you could try an eyelash or another soft and fuzzy yarn. Eyelash yarn might also be the perfect material for her belt.

Measurements

• Gauge: 3″ over first 3 rnds.
• Finished Size: Fits a wine bottle that is 3″ in diameter.

The size, as given, fits a 3″ diameter wine bottle. But that is easy to adjust in a multiple of two, simply by increasing your diameter at the bottom. The height is easy to adjust simply by doing more or less of the pattern rounds.

Special Stitch Instructions

V-Stitch (v-st): 2 hdc in same ch, st or sp. When you work a v-st into another v-st, work the v-st in between the 2 hdc that make up the v-st. – Stitch Tutorial.

How to Change Color in Joining Slip Stitch

To change color in the joining slip stitch, finish the round as instructed, but without making the join. Insert your hook into the first stitch made in the round; pick up the new color and pull through the stitch as well as the loop on your hook.

Begin Working in Rows for the Collar

Row 1: With Black, ch 2 (counts as first hdc, now and throughout), v-st in first v-st and into each v-st around; hdc in last hdc of last v-st. Do NOT Join. TURN. [2 hdc and 15 v-sts]

Necktie

With Black, Ch 50, working into back bumps, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. FO.

Position the necktie around Rnd 25 and secure with a needle and yarn (See image below). I secured mine at the back with one knot and one at the front where the tie crosses.

With yellow, embroider a small belt buckle on the black as shown.

Hat

The hat is worked in back loops only to give you a pretty texture.

It is worked in a continuous Rnd without any joins. Thus you’ll need to place a stitch marker into the last (or first) st of each Rnd to help you keep track.

With Red, Ch 2,

Rnd 1: 3 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Place marker in last st made and carry it up at each Rnd.

Rnd 2: 2 blsc in next 3 sts [6 sts]

Rnd 3: *2 blsc in next st, blsc in next st; rep from * around. [9 sts]

Rnd 4: 1 blsc in each st around. [9 sts]

Rnd 5: *2 blsc in next st, blsc in next 2 sts: rep from * around [12 sts]

Rnd 6: Rep Rnd 4. [12 sts]

Rnd 7: *2 blsc in next st, blsc in next 3 sts: rep from * around [15 sts]

Rnds 8-15: Rep Rnd 4 until about 3/4 inch from desired length. After Rnd 15, sl st into next st and FO Red.

Rnd 16: Join White in back loop of next st with a stsc. Blsc around.

Rnds 17-18: With White, rep Rnd 4. Join and FO after Rnd 18. [15 sts]

With both Red and White, wrap yarn around two fingers and make a small pom pom. Trim to the desired size and attach to the point of the hat.
