Crochet Wine Glass Holder
Materials Needed:
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Worsted weight yarn in green
- Optional: little beads or bells for decoration
Pattern:
Foundation:
- Start by creating a slip knot on your crochet hook.
- Chain 28 (or 24, depending on the size you prefer). This initial chain must fit around the bottom of your wine glass but not be too loose to slide off easily.
- Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
In Round 1:
- Chain 1, then work single crochets into each chain around, totaling 24 or 28 single crochets depending on your initial chain count.
- Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round.
Round 2 (Setup for the crocodile stitch):
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
- Chain 1, then double crochet into the same space.
- Skip one stitch, double crochet into the next stitch, chain 1, and double crochet back into that same stitch. Repeat from to around.
- Slip stitch to the third chain from the beginning of the round to join.
Round 3 (Crocodile stitch):
- Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet).
- Turn your work sideways. Perform six double crochets around the chain-3 post from the previous round (total of seven including the chain-3).
- Chain 2 for a picot, slip stitch into the top of the last double crochet.
- Work seven double crochets around the next post of double crochets.
- Secure these petals by single crocheting in the space between the posts from the previous round.
- Continue this pattern around, attaching each new petal as you go.
Continue the Pattern:
- Repeat rounds 2 and 3 until the holder reaches your desired height, typically two to three tiers of crocodile stitches.
Finishing the Holder:
- Once the desired number of rounds is completed, finish off by slip stitching and cutting the yarn. Weave in all ends.
Creating the Strap:
- Chain a length of about 115 stitches, or until it reaches a length you're satisfied with.
- Slip stitch the chain to the opposite side of the holder to form the handle.
- Work a row of single crochets up the chain.
- Slip stitch into the next stitch and turn your work. Slip stitch back along the single crochets.
- Finish off, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.
Decoration (Optional):
- Attach little beads or bells around the holder to enhance the Christmas tree appearance.
