    Celebration Wine Bag

    Published: Dec 21, 2016 · Modified: Aug 2, 2022 by Tamara Kelly · 16 Comments

    It's time to celebrate! The holidays, the new year, and the hope of good things to come. Like a pair of lovely wines in the Celebration Wine Bag - a free crochet pattern here on Moogly!

    Celebration Wine Bag - holds 2 bottles! Free one skein crochet pattern on Mooglyblog.com!Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links.

    Purchase the downloadable PDF of this pattern on Ravelry

    The Celebration Wine Bag was based on a request I received from several readers - for a wine bag made to hold two bottles rather than just one! Perfect for gifting a white and red, or just taking two of your favorites to your next party, this bag keeps them safe and lets you carry them in style!

    This pattern takes just one ball of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Bonus Bundle (or 2 balls of the regular size Wool-Ease Thick & Quick), and a couple of evenings to whip up! And the bobbles on the front look like snowballs - so fun!

        I am not sure how to leave a comment without replying to someone else's comment. But anyway. I just made this. The bag is cute however when putting 2 bottles of wine in the bag and trying to carry it at the handle it stretches horribly. After a couple of uses the bag will be stretched out. What a waste in yarn and time 🙁

          Also, I didn't use Wool yarn. Maybe that would have made a difference?

          I'm sorry you're having trouble, Cora! If your yarn is stretching too much, I'd recommend lining the handle with non-stretchy ribbon. It's a quick fix for crochet handles that stretch. 🙂

      I have gotten all the way to the end of this but don't understand how to "sew" the ends in. Could you kindly explain how to sew it together.
