Crochet Wine Bottle Holder Pattern Details

Here’s a quick overview of the materials, sizing, gauge, and pattern notes before you begin.

Skill Level

Beginner. This crochet pattern involves simple color changes and a basic stitch pattern.

Avoid frustration by learning the most common crochet mistakes beginners make and how to fix them.

Materials Needed

  • Crochet Hook Size: H-8 5 mm crochet hook or hook needed for gauge
  • Yarn: Worsted weight yarn #4 in white, gray, and scraps of pink (cotton yarn is a great choice!)
  • Yarn needle: Use this to weave in your ends.
  • Scissors: Use scissors to fasten off your yarn.
  • Stitch marker(s): Optional. Use these to help keep track of your stitches. 

Finished Size

This easy wine bottle holder will fit a standard 750 ml size bottle of wine. 

My wine holder measured approximately 9.5 inches wide and 10 inches tall.

Gauge

13 hdc = 4 inches
12 rows = 4 inches

If you have more than 13 stitches in 4 inches, try using a larger hook. If you have less than 13 stitches, try a smaller hook.

Learn how to check crochet gauge before you begin so you can adjust your hook size if needed.

Pattern Notes

  • When you are changing colors, use the new color to do the final pull through of the stitch that is the old color.
  • Pattern is worked back and forth in rows of half double crochet (hdc) from the bottom up.
  • Check your stitch count at the end of each row so the sides stay even. My how to crochet straight edges guide includes tips for half double crochet rows and turning chains.
  • You can print and follow the pixel graph or follow the written instructions.
  • Chain 2 at the beginning of each row.
  • Repeat instructions between asterisks (*) for the rest of the round.

Seamless Color Changes

Begin color changes in the stitch right before the one where you need the new color. To do this, finish the last stitch in the old color up to the point where only three loops remain on your hook.

Then, pull the new color through these three loops to finish the stitch. Now, you’re all set to start the next stitch with the new color!
