About the Pattern:
The Cabled Bottle Cozy is a nice introduction to cable work if you’ve never done it. While it looks difficult, once you understand the stitch placement it’s a piece of cake! These work up relatively quick with just one ball of yarn. They are perfect for wine bottles, but they definitely don’t discriminate! They’ll keep spirits, marinades, sauces, or anything else around the same size just as cozy! The pattern calls for Lion Brand Wool Ease. I like Wool Ease because of the bounciness…it’s springy and holds it shape really well. If you don’t have access to Wool Ease or cannot work with wool, no worries! There are lots of other options, any worsted weight yarn will work just fine.
The pattern starts with a magic circle and works in the round, increasing for the first 6 rounds to make the base. Then you will begin working your cabled pattern up to form the cylinder. Finally, you’ll discontinue working in the round for the cuff section. Here you’ll make a chain and then work back and forth from the edge of the cylinder to create a ribbed cuff. We finish it off with leather lacing woven in and out of the stitches around the base of the cuff. If you don’t have leather lacing you can always use yarn…and maybe put little tassels on the end!
