Introducing your best Valentine’s Day Gift Ever.  Meet the Crochet Bottle Cover ~ Valentine Wine Cozy.  Pair it with a bottle of wine and these free Love Coupons and your gift giving is complete!

Count me in with those who love to crochet for all seasons. So many people love my crochet heart and my darling amigurumi crochet heart pattern is one of my favorites. But crocheting for my husband for Valentine’s Day? Sometimes that’s a bit of a challenge.

Do you ever want to give that just perfect gift to the love of your life.. but you just want it to be easy?  My friends, you are going to love, love, love today’s post.

First up.  Make this sweet crochet bottle cover with adorable heart adorned tie.  In one evening. Then fire up your printer and print these free Love coupons (scroll down for details).  Pop in a bottle of your favorite wine and prepare to impress your love.

Some days I feel like a pretty good wife.  I say the nice things.  Make good food.  Do the laundry and make sure the house is clean.  Other times I feel like I’m hanging on by a thread and crazy words are coming from my mouth because I’m stressed and tired, doing too many things at once.  

In those moments, I wonder why in the world this love of mine sticks around.  But he does.  He’s here for the highs and the lows and the sometimes crazy.  He holds my hand.  Calms my heart.  Tells me we’re a team and it will be ok.

And how do you possibly buy something to show someone you love them that much right back?  Sure you can buy candy.  Maybe some expensive thing.  

But in my world, you make something amazing like this crochet bottle cover.  And then you print out these little coupons for gifts of your time.  You don’t need to spend a lot to show love.  Sometimes you just need to DO.  And maybe that’s the best gift of all.

Aren’t these free Love Coupons fun?  My newsletter subscribers get exclusive access to my free resource library full of fun printables including a journal, a stitch binder and these fun coupons! The coupons are family friendly and will even work to give a child, sibling, parent or grandparent!  Perfect for anyone you love!

Hearts (Make 5)

Using smaller hook and red, pink and white yarn make a total of 5 hearts (I made one white and two each of red and pink) as follows:

Make a magic ring.  Work the following all inside the magic ring:  ch2, 2 tc, 5 dc, tc, 5 dc, 2 tc, ch 2, sl st to  magic ring.  Carefully pull the ring tight.  The stitches will form a heart shape.  Fasten off and use ends to sew on to tie in the next step.

Assembly

Starting at the left front as you are looking at the cozy, weave tie over and under 2 dc around row 16 and tie loosely.  Carefully sew hearts on to ends of each tie and up the tie, referring to the photo for reference.  Slip the crochet bottle cover on to a bottle of wine and carefully tighten up the tie.
