How it started
And then this happened
Followed by a couple more. They’re addictive!
This all started because I wanted a little red one for the neighbors, like my Stopover Korknisse above. I may knit a couple more today while procrastinating about wrapping presents. If you want to knit some too, here’s a quick set of instructions. The original pattern is in Norwegian by Manne, and is only available via Wayback Machine/Internet Archive. I’ve adapted it for champagne corks.
I used Malabrigo Worsted for most of these (Stopover is in Lopi). US 5 needle, worked in the round.
Sweater: CO 18 sts
2 rnds k1p1 rib.
1 rnd stockinette
2 rnds 1×1 colorwork
BO round in neckline color
Hat: CO 16 sts
2 rnds ribbing, 3 rnds stockinette, then decreases every other row; 3 per decrease rnd. If you work the first dec rnd as K2tog, k2, k2tog; (k3, k2tog)2x, that will make your following dec rnds simpler. You’ll knit one fewer st before the dec on each dec rnd, until you have 3 sts remaining.

Here’s a crew of korknisse from 2014. I’ll catch up with my current Kona post…soon!

Thank you for your pattern! I’ve been wanting to make some after seeing yours.
Merry Christmas!
They’re so cute! They live on my piano year ’round, getting knocked over by Calvin the orange cat. Have fun!
Like the Aussie macadamias, too. 🙂
I don’t think they’re Aussie; they’re from the island of Hawaii. We’ve toured the factory! Delicious.

Unfortunately I don’t have access to Champagne corks. They are so cute!

I usually have a lot of them, if I haven’t recycled them recently. I can give you some if you want!
