Valentine Wine Cosy

Pin It

It just wouldn't be FitzBirch Crafts without a wine cosy to mark a special occasion and what better time for a glass of wine than the early evening of Valentines night?

This cosy is one of our designs that has had a slight tweak to help cupid on the night.

Pattern Instructions:-

Using DPN's size 4 and M (Creme) cast on 48 stitches.
Establish a K2, P2 rib and continue for 7cm.

In you final row of ribbing, increase between each set of K2's.  This will increase your stitches to 60.  It is important for the gingham pattern that the stitches be in multiple of 3's.

Continue in stocking stitch using M for 2 cm.

Gingham Pattern:
Using M K3, Using C1 (light Pink) K3.  Continue to end.
Repeat this row 2 more times (3 rows in total)

Next row - Using C1, K3, Using C2 (dark Pink) K3.  Continue to end.
Repeat this row 2 more time (3 rows in total)

Next row -
Using M K3, Using C1 (light Pink) K3.  Continue to end.
Repeat this row 2 more times (3 rows in total)

Continue in M and stocking stitch until you are approximately 6cm from the bottom of the bottle.

Repeat the Gingham pattern once more.

Continue in M and stocking stitch until you are approximately 1 cm from the bottom of the bottle.

Decrease 1 stitch at each end of each needle for every row until 4 stitches remain on each needle.

Cut wool leaving a 10cm tail and using a wool needle, thread back through the stitches and pull firmly.  Secure tail.

Button Heart

I purchased a cheap heart decoration from a very large Swedish retailer which I covered in an assortment of buttons.  If you can't located one, then a sturdy cardboard heart covered in paper or fabric and then covered in buttons will do.   Then just glue the buttons in place.  It can be a bit fiddly and I have a blister to prove it, but it's worth it.  It's very cute.

It is then a case of hanging it around the neck of the bottle and enjoying quality time together.

Happy Knitting and Happy Valentine,

Louise
