Run out of Christmas present ideas? I am going to share with you pattern for crochet bottle cover which perfectly suits Christmas and New Year season 🎄🎄🎄 Definitely it can be used as a perfect gift idea or just table decoration.
Even though this project is very easy to make and perfect for beginners, it requires a lot of concentration and counting. Otherwise, Christmas tree won’t look right and straight. So, making it in front of tv when watching your favourite tv program may not be the right choice (believe me, I’ve tried 😉).
So, are we ready to start? 😊

Round 86-92 (7 rounds): sc in all 56 st [56]
Last 2 rounds
I made out of fluffy white yarn, I used Schachenmayr Hand Knitting Yarns Baby Smiles. If you want, you can skip this step, but it adds final Christmassy touch to our crochet bottle cover.
Round 92-93 (2 rounds): sc in all 56 st [56]
Finish off with sl st and hide the end.
Decoration
One of the final steps will be decoration of our crochet bottle cover with snowflakes. I used tapestry needle with white yarn, but you can use something else for decoration, or just leave it as it is. I just scattered snowflakes around the cover.
Thread for the cover
I made it out of red yarn. You can try using something else.
Row 1: ch of 70 sc [70]
Row 2: starting from 2nd ch, 69 sc [69]
Finish off with sl st and hide the end, afterwards insert in the little holes which we made in the round 85.
That’s it, our beautiful bottle cover is complete. Where are you going to use it?
Mine will decorate my Christmas and new Year’s table 😊😊😊
