This wine cozy is perfect for that bottle of wine you buy for your next hostess or birthday gift. The cluster of grapes screams WINE. The individual grapes are knit in the bobble stitch, with the stem knit in stockinette on a reverse stockinette background. Ribbing at the top with a row of button holes is the perfect setup for inserting ribbon, I-cord, or braided yarn for tying up the bag.

Knit in dk weight cotton yarn the cozy takes approximately 80 yards to complete (50 yards green, 30 yards purple - as knit), The cozy is knit in the round, so you can use standard double pointed needles, 2 circular needles, or 1 circular needle if using the magic loop.

The design is generic enough to give you leeway to lengthen or shorten the sections. Keeping a wine bottle handy to test the work in progress is always helpful.

The finished cozy fits a standard size wine bottle.
