Chunky Knit Wine Sleeve Pattern

One of my favorite memories from promoting The Knit Show was when I got to bring my friend Lisa Loeb onto an episode of Hallmark Home & Family to show how to knit chunky, knit wine sleeves for the holidays. She and I met because of knitting, so it’s always so fun when we can find a way to keep that thread going.

Unfortunately, a few years ago, the show was canceled. I still love making these cozy cuties, so I’m reposting the pattern.

Sip, sip, knit!
