Here is the wine bottle cozy I crocheted for my Mother-in-Law for her birthday.\u00a0 She loved it.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Yarn was Red Heart Collage and the color is Landscape Green.<\/h4>\n

I just love how the greens and pink of the yarn were blended and came out so pretty.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I added the ruffled rows around the top to make it more ruffly after the draw string is pulled.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

The two beads on the draw string are two of my lampwork (handmade) glass beads.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is the pattern I used: http:\/\/www.yarntomato.com\/patterns\/wine-bottle-cozy\/<\/a><\/h2>\n

I made a few changes. I skipped rows 12 and 13, (the two rows where you add the beads) because I was not adding beads.\u00a0 I did 6 rows of sc after changing from the bottle bottom and starting up the sides, but that was going too slow, so I changed to dc and crocheted to 9 inches from bottom.\u00a0 Then switched back to sc for the last 1\/2 inch.\u00a0 For the top edge, after I finished the pattern, I wanted it more ruffly than the pattern called for, so I did one row of sc working 3 sc in each stitch to force it to ruffle and then another row of sc working 2 sc in each stitch, continuing to force it to ruffle.<\/h2>\n

Then made my draw string and added two of my handmade (lampwork) beads to the ends of the drawstring after I threaded it into the cozy.<\/h2>\n

Happy crocheting.<\/h2>\n
