Friends, knitting creative work to the competition - HURRAY! New Year's clothes for the bottle from Nadezhda Maksimova. Further from the author's words:

“These are the festive New Year’s clothes for the bottle - the fur coats of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden I got the other day.

It was the first time I knitted such a product.

A friend saw the photo on the Internet and was inspired to buy one for herself. And since she doesn’t know how to knit herself, she asked her to knit me.

And so the experiment began. And how the New Year's clothes for the bottle were knitted, I described as best I could. I tried to be more detailed and understandable.

Materials

• Pekhorka yarn “Children’s whim” (white and red colors for Santa Claus and white and blue for Snow Maiden),
• hook number 2.

New Year's clothes for a bottle - how to knit

1st row - we knit with white yarn: from 53 air loops, we close it in a ring, i.e. We knit a connecting stitch into the first loop of the chain.

Option #1

Option No. 2
4th row - knit in half-columns
5th row - with hinged loop
6th row - half columns
7th row - with hinged loop
8th row - half columns
Next, change the color to red (Santa Claus) or blue (Snegurochka) and knit from rows 9 to 28 with regular stitches.
Row 29 - decrease 3 loops in a row and also three more rows i.e. Rows 30,31,32. In row 33 there should be 41 loops left
Change to white and knit the 33rd row with half-columns
Row 34 - with hinged loop
Row 35 - decrease 3 stitches in half-columns in this row
Row 36 - with hinged loop
Row 37 - half-columns, decrease 2 more loops
Row 38 - with hinged loop
Row 39 - half columns
Row 40 - knit with another thread (red or blue).

I knitted the white strip for the fur coats separately on 7 loops using the same principle as the fur for the collar and hem. The body is ready!

cap

We collect 23 air loops from white yarn onto the hat and close them into a ring.
1st row - half columns
2nd row - with hinged loop
3rd row - half columns
4th row - with hinged loop
Next, change the color (to blue or red) and knit another 5.6 row
Rows 7, 8 decrease loops every other i.e. close the cap...
During the knitting process, we try on the cap on the bottle because the knitting is different for everyone. If desired, the finished fur coat can be decorated with sequins or beads. For the Snow Maiden, separately weave braids from white yarn and sew them to the hat,
and for Santa Claus you can tie a beard...

Well, of course, he wasn’t the only one with this set of New Year’s clothes for bottles; there was another one who wanted to buy such fur coats.

And another set of New Year's coats for bottles was created!!!

And since the New Year is coming soon, I think this set of New Year's clothes for champagne will not be the last this year!

I hope you like my description too!!!

I wish you creative success!

Nadezhda Maksimova"

P.S. In addition to thanking Nadezhda for participating in the competition, I want to say thank you for reminding me of such a wonderful crochet technique as elongated loops (Nadezhda in her description calls them hinged). Unfortunately, this technique has not yet been discussed on the blog (minus for me))) there is something to work on... But there is an article “”, look, perhaps your New Year's clothes for the bottle will be knitted by you (not everyone likes to crochet)) )

Which one New Year without Father Frost and Snow Maiden? This is undoubtedly the most important attribute of the holiday! And how sorry it is for us to part with our favorite characters after the holiday! But it is in our power to make sure thatFather Frost and Snow Maiden did not melt either in spring or summer, but delighted us all year round.

I propose to knit elegant New Year's costumes for Grandfather and Granddaughter, which can be put on any bottles of drinks, or you can simply stuff them with padding polyester, and then you will get a doll. In addition, these outfits can be used an unlimited number of times as they are easy to put on and take off.

In this master class I “dress up” bottles of champagne. They can be placed under the Christmas tree, and then on the table. In addition, your friends will undoubtedly be happy if you give them such a New Year's souvenir.

So, for knitting Santa Claus and Snow Maiden for a bottle of champagne we will need:

• 2 bottles of champagne (or lemonade);
• red yarn (preferably with golden lurex) for Santa Claus;
• yarn of blue color(also preferably with lurex, but silver) for the Snow Maiden;
• Yarn "Grass" white to create fur;
• yarn for creating a braid from the Snow Maiden (what hair color you prefer, take this yarn);
• crochet hook No. 2-2.5;
• knitting needles No. 2-2.5 for knitting grass;
• decorative golden braid to decorate Grandfather’s fur coat;
• decorative braid, silver or with embroidery (like mine) for the Snow Maiden;
• decorations in the form of snowflakes, flowers or any other decorations of your choice for gluing on fur coats

Braid and purchased at your discretion. In principle, you can do it without them, but it won’t turn out so beautiful. Fur coats are knitted from bottom to top. We begin our work by knitting a fur coat for Santa Claus. From red yarn (and for the Snow Maiden from blue) we crochet a chain of air loops. The chain should be as long as the diameter of the bottom of your bottle.

Therefore, we apply the chain to the bottom edge of the bottle and see: as soon as it completely encircles the bottle, we close the chain into a ring. Please note that the resulting ring of air loops can be removed from the bottle if necessary, but at the same time, so that it is not too weak.

Next, we knit one lifting chain stitch and knit in a circle with single crochets for about 2-3 rows. You can knit the entire fur coat in single crochet stitches, but after the third row it will be much faster to switch to single crochet stitches. In this work, I did just that: starting from the third row, we knit in a circle with single crochets, not forgetting about 2 lifting chain loops at the beginning of each new row.

During the knitting process, we often try on our future fur coat on a bottle to make sure that it (the fur coat) fits the size of our champagne. We knit in this way until the bottle begins to narrow. Next, we begin to reduce the number of double crochets as follows: in one row we knit 2 stitches less than in the previous one (for example, we reduce 1 stitch at the beginning of the row, and 1 stitch in the middle of the row).

We knit the next row without decreasing. Next, again decrease by 2 columns. Make sure that the decreases are made evenly, i.e. Each time it is advisable to decrease in different places in the row. This way the decreases will be less noticeable.

And I remind you once again: do not forget to try your coat on the bottle more often, especially when decreasing! We alternate rows with and without decreases until you decide that you have reached the goal, i.e. the fur coat is ready. We tie and cut the thread.

Now we begin to knit a blank for the hat (for Grandfather - red yarn, and for the Snow Maiden - blue). We knit a chain of 3-4 chain stitches and close it into a ring with a connecting post.

1st row: 2 chain lifting loops and knit 6 single crochets into a ring. We close the row with the help of connecting art.

2nd row: 2 lifting air loops; and now we knit 2 single crochets into each loop. Those. we had 6 loops, and now there are 12

3rd row: you need to add 6 stitches again. To do this, we make increases every other time: we knit 1 stitch, in the second we make an increase, we knit the third without any increases, in the fourth we make an increase again. That. There should be 18 loops. We close them using a connecting piece.

4th row: also add 6 stitches evenly.

We try our bottom to the very top of the bottle neck. As soon as you see that the size is already sufficient, you can start knitting the sides of the hat.To do this, we continue to knit in the round with single crochets, but we simply stop making increases. Again: try it on the neck of the bottle and look. If you are satisfied with the depth of the hat, then tie it and cut the thread.Santa Claus hat almost ready.

We put a cap on the bottle. The result is something like this.

We make exactly the same preparation for creating the Snow Maiden. Now, using knitting needles in an elastic pattern (knit 1, purl 1), we knit fur from grass for a hat and fur coat. For the hat, we put 6-8 loops on the knitting needles and knit with an elastic band to the length needed to trim the bottom of the hat. We apply it to the cap and look. If the length is sufficient, then close the row. Exactly the same for finishing a fur coat. We knit with an elastic band, apply it to the bottom of the fur coat, and close the row.

For the collar fur, we cast on 10-12 loops on the knitting needles. And then also with an elastic band to the desired length. We close the row.

All details are ready. Now we sew fur and decorative braid to the hat and fur coat. For Santa Claus, we first sew on the fur, and only then the gold braid. For the Snow Maiden, it’s better to do it differently: first sew on the embroidered braid, and then the fur.

And don’t forget that the Snow Maiden must have a braid! To do this, we cut yarn of golden or other color (whatever you like) into strips of the required length and braid them into a braid. We sew the braid to the hat of our Snow Maiden.

We conclude our Christmas bottle decoration, gluing or sewing (I sewed) snowflake decorations onto both fur coats. These are so beautiful Father Frost and Snow Maiden on a bottle of champagne We did it! I think your family and friends will be pleased to receive such a souvenir for the holiday! Happy New Year!

Good afternoon

In this master class, I will tell you how you can decorate champagne for the New Year. It will be removable clothes for champagne, stylized as Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.

Previously, in order to decorate champagne with ribbons, I made clothes for champagne that were not removable. But I always felt sorry that such beauty was intended only for one evening. I wondered how I could decorate the champagne so that it could be used every year. You also need to choose a decoration that you will never get tired of.

And the simplest answer is Santa Claus.

It really is! Why not do removable decoration for a bottle of champagne in the form of Santa Claus?

To decorate champagne, we will need:

• champagne;
• red and white felt;
• pencil and ruler, lighter, scissors;
• red bias tape 10 m;
• red ribbon wide 2.5 cm – 2 m;
• lace, sequins, half beads;
• Kinder egg for Santa's hat;
• glue Moment (gel) I only use it. You can take any other one that you are used to.

To begin with, we make a base cylinder for champagne. We take felt 20x30cm, this piece of felt is just right for champagne. We try the rectangle on the bottle and glue it, but so that the cylinder can easily be put on and removed from the bottle. I glued it together satin ribbon end-to-end

Now we make the shoulders: cut the felt vertically to the point where the bottle becomes straight. These strips were cut off on both sides (shown by the black line in the photo) to make the case shaped like a bottle.

This is the preparation I got

The most important thing is to do this beautiful shape blanks for decoration so that it is even and easy to put on and take off. At first I made it from paper, but there are bumps on the workpiece and they are very clearly visible. Then it is very difficult to hide. I decided to try it with felt and I was right. Of course it's a little more work, but it's worth it. The base turned out smooth. Another advantage of felt is that it stretches; if you pull the binding a little during the process of braiding the bottle, then together with the felt you can slightly adjust the size.

Let's start creating the design. We begin to braid our workpiece with bias tape. Try not to pull the binding too much so that the uniform can be easily removed.

After you have glued several strips, you can cut out the neck, then we will process it.

I apply glue to the middle of the bias tape so that it sticks to the felt and not to the tape. And so it is unlikely that the glue will “crawl” out.

Do everything carefully, take your time, make sure that your binding is glued just above the middle of the previous strip. If you want the strips to be wider, then you need to glue them in the middle.

We glue the binding to the place where the bottle becomes straight

Why do I like using bias tape? Because it fits well and doesn’t stick out, but it’s much more difficult to work with tapes.

I glue it using Moment Gel glue, applying it over the entire strip. Many people use Titan glue or its analogues. You decide for yourself which glue is more convenient for you to work with or which glue you are used to.

We will process the collar with the same bias tape.

And now the most interesting and enjoyable part - creating the image of Santa Claus.

We cut strips of white felt 2.5 cm wide. There should be three of them: for the neck, for the bottom and for the front (where the buttons will be).

We cut strips of lace equal in length to the pieces of felt; for the front you need two strips of lace, because the frill will be on both sides. In general, there should be 4 stripes

I first glued the lace to the felt. And then I glued the felt onto the bottle.

First of all, we glue the bottom, then the vertical strip, and then the collar.

This is how Santa Claus' clothes look from the back.

We make a hat from a kinder egg. We cover the larger half with tape and decorate it with a strip of white felt and a half bead. You can also make a hat from felt. It is easy to make. We take a piece of red felt 12x5 cm, sides 5 cm. We sew it vertically, overlapping or gluing it together. We collect the upper cut with a thread and sew on a pompom made of yarn, you can do without it. We decorate the bottom cut with white felt.

Now we make buttons: glue sequins in the shape of snowflakes, and half beads on them. The buttons are ready.

New Year's decoration for Santa Claus champagne is ready.

It’s good if Santa Claus has a Snow Maiden. Just decorate the second bottle of champagne with blue color. Let these favorite characters decorate your New Year's table!

And in the end I got these Santa Claus and Snow Maiden.

How to decorate champagne for the New Year

By the way! The Snow Maiden has a hat made of a kinder egg, and Santa Claus has a hat made of felt.
