    Quick Cricut Craft: Crochet Cocktail Napkins

    Published: Jul 27, 2018 by Tamara Kelly · 4 Comments

    A bottle of wine or drinks themed basket is a classic gift - and you can make it even better by including these Crochet Cocktail Napkins, all dressed up with Cricut Iron-Ons - I'll show you how in this Quick Cricut Craft!

    Quick Cricut Craft: Crochet Cocktail NapkinsDisclaimer: This post includes affiliate links. Material support provided by Red Heart Yarns and Cricut.

    First, you need the crochet pattern! It's very very simple. And if you don't crochet, you can personalize fabric cocktail napkins instead - just skip the pattern to the rest of the tutorial below! I do recommend using 100% cotton yarn if you crochet them, or purchasing cotton or linen napkins if you go that route.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Row 1: Ch 24, sc in the 4th ch from the hook, *ch 1, sk next ch, sc in next ch; rep from * across, turn. (11 sc)

    Row 2: Ch 2, sk first st, sc in next ch sp, *ch 1, sk next st, sc in next ch sp; rep from * across, turn. (11 sc)

    Row 3 - 20: Rep Row 2, then after Row 20 break yarn and weave in ends.


    Once you've got your napkins made or purchased, it's time to add some personalization! I found a bunch (no pun intended!) of great pre-made wine files in Cricut Design Space as part of Cricut Access - and that made it super easy!

    I loaded all the images I wanted to use into one Design Space Project, and then changed the colors so they all used the same two colors.

    Cricut Design Space - set up your designs before you cut

    This way each will have a two-color design, and I can cut them out in just two sheets. I used Cricut Everyday Iron-On in Black and Silver, but of course, you can use whatever colors you like! I don't usually bother matching the colors in design space to what I'm actually cutting, but it's an option, and a handy way to visualize your design ahead of time.

    Remember to mirror your project in Design Space before cutting iron-ons - both sheets, if it's a two-fer like these!

    Remember to mirror your images in Cricut Design Space for iron ons! I mirrored both sheets for the personalized Crochet Cocktail Napkins on Moogly!

    Cutting with the Cricut Maker took just a few minutes, and then I did a bit of weeding with the Cricut BrightPad.

    Finally, it was time to iron them on! This is why it's so important to use 100% cotton yarn or otherwise heat resistant fabric. I set my Cricut EasyPress to 350 degrees, preheated each napkin, and ironed each side of the napkin with the design on it (front and back) twice. With yarn, you really want to make sure it *sticks!*

    This was the first time I'd layered vinyl - but it was super easy! Just do one piece, then line up and iron on the other!

    Et voila - Personalized Crochet Cocktail Napkins!

    The silver was a little tricky to capture on camera, but I love the way these turned out!

    Another great idea for this project is monogramming the napkins - perfect for a wedding or housewarming! You can also customize them for the holidays, or really any gift-giving occasion. And if you don't have a Cricut, you can use prepurchased iron-ons too!

    I hope you’ve enjoyed this quick Cricut craft! If it inspires you to make your own project, and you post a photo on social media, be sure to tag me @mooglyblog or #mooglyblog so I can check it out too! I love seeing what you make!

      This is great! I just got a Cricut Maker myself. Could you not also do this on a crocheted tote bag done with cotton yarn also? I love to make tote bags and when I saw this I thought why not?

        Absolutely! I've done it on all sorts of crochet projects - as long as the yarn can take the heat! 😀

      How does the vinyl stand up to washing?

        The gentler the better, and now that Cricut has come out with their "sports" vinyl I'd recommend that for this project instead!
