    1. Hi Alice! Thank you for your comment! I do not currently have a crochet version, but will definitely consider making one in the near future.

  1. The “thing amabob” you are using “instead” of a cable needle is an actual cable needle ?
    They were the first ones I used before buying the “clover” ones.
    They sell them on Amazon.
    I’ll definitely be making this pattern. I love working with dpn and I make my own wine ?

    1. OMG thank YOU, that’s probably why it worked so well LOL :D! And so fun that you make your own wine. That’s definitely on my list of things to DIY someday. Happy knitting to you!

  2. Is the 9 1/2″ measurement measured from where the sides (not bottom) start? so just the vertical dimension, not the round bottom?

    1. It should read 10.5 inches, and this includes the round bottom. (I am making that correction in the pattern now!) But you can make yours shorter or longer depending on your wine bottle or preference!

  3. Do you know about how much yarn each wine bottle sweater uses? I love this pattern. We have a lot of wine drinkers in our family and I thought this would be perfect for each one of them.

    1. Hi Stephanie! I estimate the sweaters take about 160 – 170 yards of 4-medium weight yarn (ex. Red Heart Super Saver, Big Twist Sincerely, Big Twist Value, etc.)

  4. Hi!! I was wondering if this pattern was stretchy enough to accommodate a wider bottle like a champagne bottle or if you had any suggestions on how to adjust the pattern to fit a champagne bottle.
    Also would a 5 weight yarn still be suitable for the needles and pattern?

    1. Hi Dani! Though I haven’t tried it, the pattern as is could most likely stretch to fit a champagne bottle. If you fear it might be too tight, you could try using a larger set of knitting needles. Regarding 5-weight yarn, it’s hard to say because yarns within a certain weight category could be very different. If your 5-weight yarn is closer to a 4-weight I think it would work well (though you would probably need to size up your needles to a 7) but if it’s closer to a 6-weight I think it would end up too big.

      When making the circle at the bottom, you can keep increasing until your circle is the same size as the bottom of the wine bottle, but you’ll just have to take into account the added or subtracted stitches once you get to the body portion… if that makes sense :).

  5. Great pattern. Digging out my dpn’s and hope to get one done for Christmas…. my son-in-law is a devoted “wino”… in a good way!

  6. I just finished making this and it came out quite nice, thanks for your time and attention to helping us through the pattern! It did take me a few tries to get it started but I stuck with it. I ended up switching yarn for the collar to give a little contrast which worked out well.
