Dom the Champagne Bottle

Whether you’re celebrating the New Year, a special occasion or just grabbing brunch with friends, champagne is always a good idea. So, let’s pop, fizz, clink and start off this chapter with a bottle of bubbly! This simple level 1 pattern is worked in continuous rounds and uses a series of color changes to create this classic look. You could also switch the colors and make your favorite bottle of wine, if you like. Dom’s finished size is approximately 5½ inches (14 cm) tall and 2 inches (5 cm) wide.
