This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start of summer! Summer is the perfect time to pull out all of your red, white, and blue decorations since there are so many American holidays like Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Independence Day. Two of these holidays are known for being popular days for cookouts and BBQs.
This project is the perfect bottle holder to take to your summer cookouts. It is a red, white, and blue bottle holder that can easily be made in a weekend. It uses 2 strands of worsted yarn, which makes it fairly sturdy. The pattern works up really fast. The bottle holder can hold a wine bottle or liquor bottle.
