Wine Bottle Cozy - original crochet pattern

I saw a similar pattern on raverly.com but it was for knitters. While I may know how to knit...I don't prefer it. You may hear me say time and time again, "knitting is like driving a stick shift and crochet is like driving an automatic."

Here is my original pattern.

Wine Bottle Cozy

Hook E (3.50 mm)

Ch 16, join w/ sl st to form a ring
Round 1: Ch 1, sc in each st around (16 sc’s), join w/ sl st
Rounds 2-8: Repeat round 1
Round 9: Ch 2, *3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in next same st. Sl st in next st* repeat from * 5 times. Sl st to finish.

Cut – weave in ends.
To embellish – hang beads or crystals from the center of the petals.
The petals can also be changed modified based on other flowers you may have created.

Etsy account...finally

I am a bad blogger....or at least not a very consistent blogger. It's on my "to do" list..I promise.

One thing I've been able to accomplish is an Etsy account. Please visit my store at www.etsy.com/shop/carriebyhand.

Now that we have a new laptop I'm hoping to get my blog updated with lots of new projects and maybe even patterns or recipes for a few creations.
