O’ Christmas Tree Wine Tote – Free Crochet Pattern

Crochet wine totes are the perfect quick crochet project for when you find yourself needing a last minute gift. Pair one with a bottle of wine and they make excellent last-minute crochet gifts.

Crochet wine totes make great housewarming, wedding, and holiday gifts. I like to keep a couple different styles made up ahead of time. This way, I always have a last minute gift on hand, if needed.

The free crochet pattern for the O’ Christmas Tree Wine Tote can be found below, or you can find an ad-free print friendly version on Ravelry, or on Etsy (aff).

The O’ Christmas Tree Wine Tote will be great to keep on hand for last minute holiday gifts! Not only is it great for last minute gifts, the O’ Christmas Tree Wine Tote is a great one skein crochet project.

If you love the Christmas tree design on this crochet wine tote, you may also love the O’ Christmas Tree Stocking and O’Christmas Tree Mason Jar Cozy.

Yarn

For this crochet wine cozy, I chose Lion Brand Yarn’s Vanna’s Choice. Vanna’s Choice is a great worsted weight acrylic yarn that’s available in 54 colors! You’ll have a hard time choosing colors, but this crochet wine tote will look great in many colors!

Nicole made her O’ Christmas Tree Wine Tote in Denim, using Lion Brand Yarns Pound of Love. When I think OF Christmas trees, I automatically think “green”, but for this project, the blue works great too! This is one of the reasons I love seeing other people’s color choices!

The free pattern is below, but if you love to work offline, I’ve got a couple other great options for you.

  1. On the tote base, you say we will gi from 36 stitches to 48, I can’t get to any other number than 54? Am I missing something?
    Regards

    1. Hi Ida,

      For Round 3 make sure to double check that you have 36 stitches. Then the increase for Rnd 4 is: * 2 dc in one st, 1 dc, 1 dc, rep from * around. This will increase your stitch count to 48 sts.

      Happy Crocheting,
      Jennifer
