Wine Cozy

This year I was able to make a lot of gifts because of my foot surgery.  Here is one that took me less than an hour.

I made this wine cozy for my neighbors.  I didn't want to just give them a bottle of wine--I wanted to make it "fancy."

I used Red Heart Soft red yarn, which made it a little stretchy.  My friend (who was out of work because of rotator cuff surgery) and her daughter took me to Michael's so that I could find red yarn.  The only red left was that variety.  I love the feel of it, and I think that's wasted on a wine bottle, but at least it looks good.

I already had white Red Heart yarn, so I used that for the top part.
