Christmas Tree Wine Bottle Holder

"When you’re gifting a bottle of wine, dress it up with this festive Christmas tree crochet wine bottle holder. It protects the bottle and adds a warm, personal touch to your gift! This gorgeous crochet wine bottle cover pattern uses the waistcoat stitch (sometimes called center single crochet), which creates a sleek, knit-like fabric, reminiscent of your favorite cozy Christmas sweaters or knitted scarves.And what holiday design is more iconic than Christmas trees? You’ll create this elegant Christmas tree motif using the fair isle technique and changing between red yarn and white. If you’ve never tried fair isle before, the color changes are simple and I’ve included a video tutorial to guide you through the pattern. So it’s perfectly doable, even for someone with an advanced beginner skill level. This wine bottle gift bag is the perfect project when you need a hostess gift for your next holiday house party or a Christmas meal. It holds a standard 750 ml bottle of wine. But for a non-alcoholic alternative that the whole family can enjoy, you could substitute any similar glass bottle, like sparkling cider, depending on the preferences of your gift recipient. What a great way to show your gratitude to your host!"
