I love my wine… and sometimes I am forced by social convention to share a bottle or two when I visit other peoples’ houses… but I had no cute way to transport the wine that I share, which was something that had to be remedied! Enter: the crocheted wine tote. I discovered this pattern on Pinterest and it was one of those things I instantly knew that I had to do! (Unlike the other 6,256 things I have pinned that I will probably never do….) It was a semi-frustrating project for me because I’m not the best crocheter, but, in the end, I’m happy with how it turned out and I can’t wait until the next time I need to tote some wine over to a friend’s house!

notes
- Although my notes say this took a few months to finish… I actually crocheted the final version of this tote in a weekend… it just took me several partial and one complete frogging before I got it right!
