Stop when you have two loops left on your hook.
Drop the old yarn, pick up the new color, and yarn over with the new color.
Pull the new color through the last two loops to finish the stitch. Now your next stitch will be in the new color.

Since this bag is worked in the round, the inside becomes the “wrong side,” so any extra yarn stays hidden.

For the heart, I didn’t carry the yarn across. Instead, I dropped the unused color, crocheted with the working color, then loosely brought the dropped yarn over to where I needed it again for the next round. Those loose strands end up on the inside of the bag, so you won’t see them from the outside.

Use locking stitch markers to mark the 6 center stitches on each side of the bag. These marked sections show where each end of the strap will be attached. Make sure the heart is centered evenly between the two strap placements.

Row 1: Ch 1, sc in 6 sts. Turn. (6 sts)

Fasten off and use a yarn needle to attach the strap to the opposite side of the bag.

Crochet wine bottle holder FAQs

Is this pattern good for beginners?
Yes! This crochet wine bottle holder is designed for beginners. If you can chain and work basic stitches evenly, you can make it.

How do you make the heart without carrying the yarn across?
You’ll drop the unused color, crochet with the working color, then loosely pull the dropped yarn over to where you need it again later in the round. Those loose strands end up on the inside, so you won’t see them.

Will the loose strands get caught on the bottle?
They shouldn’t if you keep them loose (not tight) and fairly neat. The bottle slides in and out smoothly, and the strands stay against the inside of the bag.

What size bottle does this fit?
It’s made to fit a standard wine bottle. If you want it taller or wider, you can add a few rounds to the height or adjust the base size.

Can I change the strap length?
Absolutely. Try it on like a purse strap and adjust until it feels right. Just keep the strap firm so it doesn’t stretch too much over time.

What yarn works best?
Worsted weight cotton or a cotton blend is a great choice for a sturdy crochet wine bag. Acrylic can work too, but it may stretch more.

Can I sell the finished wine bottle holders?
Usually yes (patterns often allow selling finished items), but it depends on what you write in your pattern notes. If you want, tell me your shop name and I’ll write a short “selling finished items” note that fits your style.

How do I wash it?
Follow the yarn label. Most cottons do well with gentle wash and laying flat to dry to help the strap keep its shape.
