With Father’s Day right around the corner, I want to give my dad a gift I know he’ll love – his favorite beer. And while I know the beer will be well appreciated on its own, I want to make my gift to him extra special, so I’ve decided to dress his favorite brand of brew with personalized beer labels.

To top it off, I’ve made my father a couple simple crocheted beer cozies to accompany the rest of his gift. I wasn’t able to find a pattern for this project on the internet, so I created my own. This pattern is quick and simple, and a great project for beginners! You can even experiment by adding or subtracting rows to vary the height, or you can switch colors on new rows to add stripes in any pattern that you’d like:

Row 7-16: Repeat row 6.

I think my dad is going to love his gift! I chose labels and bottle collars in the style of Old Guys. I was even able to use the labels on my blank 4-pack bottle carriers. The whole presentation is really nice, and I can’t wait for him to see it.

  1. Hi great idea, could these be made in cotton to whisk away condensation or would it not stretch enough?

  2. Hey Denise. Sure! Cotton should work just fine. The only thing to keep in mind is that you might have to test it out on a bottle while you’re crocheting to make sure your gauge allows room to fit your bottles.

  3. Hey there!

    So I was trying to make your pattern, and I’m coming up with the wrong numbers of stitches at the end of the rounds starting at round 4. I’ve tried it numerous times and I just cannot figure out where I’m going wrong. Can you help??
