This fast and easy crochet wine bag pattern is the answer for last minute gifts!
Every year I gift at least 5 people wine! Sometimes I feel a wee bit lazy and it seems like an easy out BUT now this year I am adding pretty crocheted wine bottle bag with it.
Originally I was thinking to make these crochet bottle bags out of worsted weight yarn but truth be told it would take me way too long to make them so I decided that super bulky was the answer because not only does this make them so much quicker to crochet but they also work up working two strands of worsted together giving even more options and making it a fantastic stash buster too!
The fun part about these crochet wine bottle cozies is they are great for carrying your wine around too! Because they are made from super bulky yarn the bags are quite thick adding a nice padding if you are throwing a bottle into your bag on your way out.
I added this appliqué I searched and searched my stash for the one I purchased a few years ago – gave up and went to Fabricland found this one for $1.30! An inexpensive finishing touch.

Fasten off and weave in ends.
Ribbed Band
The band for the bag is worked in rows and attached as you go. Here is a simple video that will help with the construction of the ribbed band if needed.
Please work the slip stitches loosely. If they are worked too tight you will be making the opening of the bag smaller. Keep them loose for best results.
Change to 6.50 mm hook
With wrong side facing, join yarn at centre back with slst, ch 10.
Note: For row 2 and every odd row, use a stitch marker to indicate the last stitch of the row. This will help you locate the first stitch of the following row.
Row 1: Hdc in 3rd ch from hook and each ch across (8) Working into sts of the last round , slst in next 2 sts, Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: Hdc in blo in 1st and each ch across (8). Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: Hdc in blo of 1st and each hdc across (8) Mark last hdc with stitch marker. Working into sts of round 1, slst in next 2 sts, Ch 1, turn.
Row 4: Hdc in blo in 1st and each hdc across (8). Ch 1, turn.
Repeat rows 3 and 4 until you reach the end of the round.
After last row, join short ends of cuff by working a slip stitch across first and last rows of cuff. NOTE: Right side of the bag and seam should be facing you. Once the cuff is turned down the right side of the seam will be facing out.
TIE
Leave tail at least 12” long at the beginning and end for attaching pompoms.
Using 9mm hook Ch 80 leave long tail
POM POMS (Make 2)
This doesn’t have to be exact, if you don’t have a pompom maker you can use a 3” X 3” piece of cardboard
Wind yarn around cardboard approx 100 times. Slide off cardboard and tie yarn around middle as tight as possible. Cut all loops and trim pom pom to size and shape desired.
Use needle and long tail from tie work back and forth through pompom
