Round 92-93 (2 rounds): sc in all 56 st [56]
Finish off with sl st and hide the end.
Decoration
One of the final steps will be decoration of our crochet bottle cover with snowflakes. I used tapestry needle with white yarn, but you can use something else for decoration, or just leave it as it is. I just scattered snowflakes around the cover.
Thread for the cover
I made it out of red yarn. You can try using something else.
Row 1: ch of 70 sc [70]
Row 2: starting from 2nd ch, 69 sc [69]
Finish off with sl st and hide the end, afterwards insert in the little holes which we made in the round 85.
That’s it, our beautiful bottle cover is complete.
