Precious Crochet Wine Glass Covers (Practical Pattern)

A wine glass can feel instantly more festive with a tiny “jacket” slipped over the bowl and stem. Not only does this amigurumi-inspired cover create a playful, dressed-up look, but it also stays practical: guests can tell glasses apart, condensation drips get reduced, and table settings look more coordinated. Best of all, the pieces work up quickly, use simple stitches, and still leave plenty of room for personality. First, the jacket body is built in rounds; next, the sleeves get added; then, a mini purse and flower bring extra charm; finally, everything gets neatly assembled.

Required Materials

Yarn (Type & Weight)

Worsted weight (#4) acrylic or cotton-blend yarn for jacket body + sleeves: 40–60 g total (depending on color changes)
Worsted weight (#4) yarn for purse: 10–15 g
Small scraps for flower center + petals: 5–10 g total

Hooks

5.0 mm (H/8) for jacket, sleeves, purse
3.5 mm (E/4) for the flower (so petals look crisp)

Notions

Stitch markers: 2–4 (helpful for rounds and sleeve placement)
Yarn/tapestry needle: 1
Scissors: 1

Optional Amigurumi Extras

Small pinch of stuffing (only if you want a puffed look)
Safety eyes 6–10 mm (optional face)
Embroidery floss / thin black yarn (optional smile/lashes)

Optional Accessories

Mini button 10–15 mm (purse flap)
Tiny charm/bead for strap
Keychain ring (only if converting to a keychain)

Skill Level

Easy / Beginner-Friendly.
In addition to chaining, the pattern uses mostly dc and hdc. Plus, shaping is gentle, so it’s relaxing to repeat.

Making Time (Overview)

Total: ~1.5–2.5 hours per set (jacket + 2 sleeves + purse + flower)

Jacket body: 35–50 min
Two sleeves: 25–40 min
Mini purse: 20–30 min
Flower: 10–15 min
Assembly: 15–25 min

Stitch Notes (Read Before You Start)

Chains do not count as stitches unless stated.
The joining sl st at the end of a round is never worked into.
“Work in the next stitch” means the first real stitch after the chain.

Abbreviations: ch, sl st, sc, hdc, dc, BLO (back loop only)

Jacket Body (35–50 minutes)

Step 1) Base Ring + Round 1 (10–15 minutes)

Ch 18, then sl st to the first ch to form a ring.
- Before joining, make sure the chain is not twisted.

Round 1:

Ch 2 (does not count)
In the same chain space: 2 dc
Dc in next 8 chains
2 dc in next chain
Dc in the remaining 8 chains
Sl st to the top of the first dc to close

Count: 20 dc total.

Tip: If the last chain is tight, insert your hook carefully and pull through slowly. Also, keeping tension relaxed helps prevent split yarn.

Step 2) Shape the Body (15–20 minutes)

Round 2: Ch 2, turn (wrong side facing). Skip joining sl st. Repeat around:

2 dc in next st
dc in next 3 sts
Join with sl st to first dc

Count: 25 dc total.

Round 3: Ch 2, turn. Dc in each st around. Join.
Count: 25 dc.

Rounds 4–5: Repeat Round 3 exactly.
As a result, the jacket becomes a short tube.

Quick fit check: After Round 3, fold so it looks like a jacket front. It should measure about 4 inches across when folded.

If smaller, move up a hook size.
If larger, move down a hook size.

Step 3) Front Opening + Collar Texture (10–15 minutes)

Round 6: Ch 2, turn. Dc in each st around (25 dc).

Do not join at the end—stop after the last dc (this creates the opening).

Round 7: Ch 2, turn (right side facing). Dc in each st around.

Again, do not join.

Round 8 (BLO texture + increases): Ch 2, turn (wrong side facing). Work BLO for the entire round:

First stitch: 2 dc (BLO)
Then repeat around: 1 dc (BLO) in next st, 2 dc (BLO) in next st

Count: 38 dc total.

Fasten off, leaving an 8-inch tail, then weave in ends.

Note: This BLO ridge looks like a collar/trim. Additionally, it helps the top edge hold shape.

Sleeves (Make 2) — 25–40 minutes total

Setup

Use same yarn + 5.0 mm (H/8) hook
Leave a 12-inch starting tail (for sewing)
Ch 8, sl st to first ch to form a ring

Round 1 (4–6 minutes)

Ch 1 (does not count)
Hdc in each chain around (8 hdc)
Sl st to first hdc to join
Then adjust so the right side faces outward.

Rounds 2–9 (8 rounds) (8–14 minutes)

Ch 1, do not turn
Hdc in each st around (8 hdc)
Sl st to join each round

Sleeve length should be about 4 inches.
Fasten off, leaving a 12-inch ending tail.

Repeat for the second sleeve.

Tip: Because sleeves are tiny, they can feel tight. Therefore, count to 8 each round to avoid accidental increases.

Mini (20–30 minutes)

Purse Round 1 (5–8 minutes)

Contrasting color recommended
Leave a 12-inch starting tail
Magic circle
Ch 1 (does not count), 15 dc into circle
Pull tight, sl st to first dc

Round 2 (5–7 minutes)

Ch 1, do not turn
Hdc in BLO around (15 hdc)
Sl st to join
Then flip the work so it curls into a pouch.

Rounds 3–4 (6–8 minutes)

Ch 1, hdc around (15)
Sl st to join each round

Strap (4–7 minutes)

Without fastening off:

Ch 15 (adjust as needed)
Sc in 2nd ch from hook, then sc in each chain (14 sc)
Sl st back into the purse edge where the strap started
Fasten off, leaving an 8-inch tail,l and weave that end in.

Later, use the long starting tail to attach the other strap end on the opposite side.

Tip: Before sewing the second strap end, thread the strap through the sleeve. That way, you won’t have to unpick it later.

Flower (10–15 minutes)

Round 1 (Center) (3–5 minutes)

Use 3.5 mm (E/4) hook
Magic circle
Ch 1 (does not count)
6 hdc into circle
Pull tight, sl st to join
Fastest center color.

Round 2 (Petals) (7–10 minutes)

Join the petal color to the first stitch:

Ch 1, do not turn
In same stitch: hdc, sl st (first petal)

For each next stitch around, repeat (all in the same stitch):

sl st, hdc, sl st

After 6 petals, add one more petal into the joining slip stitch space for a fuller look.
Sl st to the starting stitch, fasten off with a 12-inch tail for sewing.

Face & Assembly (15–25 minutes)

1) Attach Sleeves (8–12 minutes)

Position sleeves about 3 inches from the center opening, one on each side
Align the top of the sleeve opening roughly between Rounds 5 and 6
Use long tails to stitch around the sleeve opening of the jacket

Tip: Small whip stitches work well. Moreover, stitching twice around improves durability.

2) Attach Purse (4–7 minutes)

Slide the strap through a sleeve first
Sew the second strap end onto the opposite side of the purse
Optionally tack the purse to the sleeve so it doesn’t slide

3) Attach Flower (3–6 minutes)

Place on the jacket front near the lapel area
Sew through the petal bases and jacket fabric
Weave tail inside, trim

Optional: Add a Face (5–10 minutes)

Place two safety eyes on the upper front area
Check spacing, then lock backs
Embroider a small smile with black yarn
Optionally add tiny blush stitches

Safety note: If using safety eyes, keep away from small children due to small-parts risk.

Sizing Tips

Hook size changes everything.
- If the folded width is under 4 inches, go up to 5.5 mm (I/9).
- If it’s over 4 inches, go down to 4.0 mm (G/6).
Yarn choice changes drape.
- Cotton looks crisper and absorbs a bit of condensation.
- Acrylic stays soft and springy.
Tension matters.
Consistent tension helps the jacket sit straight; otherwise, one side may flare.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Twisting the starting chain before joining (lay flat, then join).
Working into the joining sl st (mark the first real stitch).
Forgetting stitch counts (20 → 25 → stay 25 → increase to 38).
Joining Rounds 6–7 by habit (leaving them unjoined creates the opening).

Variations & Customization

Color changes: solid classic; striped sleeves; contrasting collar.
Size options: thicker yarn + bigger hook for goblets; thinner yarn + smaller hook for narrow glasses.
Themes: swap the flower for a snowflake/heart/shamrock; change purse into a “camera bag”; add a button flap.

Finishing Tips for (Crochet Wine Glass)

Weave ends in two directions (weave, reverse, then trim).
Smooth the collar edge by lightly tugging evenly around.
Reinforce sleeve and strap joins with a second stitching pass.
Block only if needed (steam for acrylic, damp for cotton; test first).
