Just Pass the Bottle is a cowl that knit in the round and utilizes a simple horse shoe lace motif for the main body. It was designed to use less that a full skein of yarn and includes instructions for both a small and a large version, but it is very easy to adapt to any size that you want!

Some time ago I was knitting a sample for another project and the yarn that I had chosen was just not working out. I was lamenting to my friend that all of the yarn is my stash was ear marked for other projects so I would have to go and find something else, when she disappeared into her craft room and produced a perfect cake of “A Nice Chianti” on Signature Sock yarn from On the Round and said “Use this.” She thought that she needed two skeins for a project but only needed one. Happy Day, right? Well, I took it home and cast it on and about half way through the project I could tell that my usage was way off so I asked her to double check that it had been a full skein and sure enough, she had used about a quarter of it on another project and forgot. Saddened, I set it aside and found a different yarn for that project. But I told my friend that she wasn’t getting “A Nice Chianti” back because I was going to knit a cowl with a horseshoe lace motif, to look like wine glasses, and call it Just Pass The Bottle…for those days when you are not quite working with a full skein. I had a skein of “Vineyard” on Everyday Fingering from the same dyer in my stash and I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to follow a theme, so I worked the pattern out in a larger size too.
