This is dedicated to all of you wine lovers out there! Myself, oddly am not a big wine fan, amidst a family full of wine enthusiasts, but I do enjoy drinking my cider from a fancy wine glass, so this works! This is not a new idea, you’ve probably seen more versions of this out there, but I wanted to try my own. I chose worsted weight cotton because it’s sturdy and doesn’t give off “the fuzzies” from the yarn like acrylic, because nobody wants yarn fuzz in their drink.

These are quick, fun and easy to make! One little ball of Bernat Handicrafter yarn makes two lanyards with a little bit of yarn left over. I used a small hook with a thick yarn, so this is supposed to be worked up quite tight. I didn’t set a gauge, however, try not to let the tension get loose. If you need the glass holder smaller, easily omit chains in each round. And for a larger holder, add chains in each round. The same goes for if you prefer to work with a smaller weight of yarn, you can go by the same pattern, but you will be adding chains in between each set of shells. This will make more sense once you try the pattern!
