Crochet Peppermint Wine Stem Covers



I made this drink for a White Elephant I attended  I'm not much of a drinker but this one was festive looking and I know I could make it last a long time with all that added fruit to munch on.  

I also was concerned about keeping track of my glass and making sure I wasn't sharing my glass with anyone.  Not that I don't mind sharing, but I'm not much into sharing germs, this time of year.  

These are really easy to make, and here is how I made mine.  

Supplies Needed:

Worsted yarn in the colors of red and white.  

An F hook

Here we go:

Put the two yarns together and ch 40

Using both the red and white yarn together, sc 3 times in 2nd ch from hook.  

Continue to repeat the previous step in the next chain, until you have 3 sc in each of the chain loops.  

Fasten off and weave in ends.  

As you will notice the yarn will swirl and become a curly cue.  

Wrap the yarn around the stem of your wine glass to your desire.  Mine kinda gave the effect of round peppermint candies.  

You could always attach your curly cue to a stirrer, or wrap it around the bottom stem of your wine glass.  

All would be beautiful and fun.  

Simple but festive, don't you agree?

If you are interested in making the drink, head on over here.  

Enjoy,

Debra
