Water Bottle Holder Crochet Pattern

"FREE Water Bottle Holder Crochet Pattern: Keep Hydrated Do you feel like you need to keep yourself (or your kids) more hydrated? Well, I’ve noticed that since I have my water bottle right by my side, I tend to drink more than when I have to fiddle for it at the bottom of my tote bag! Water bottle holders (or carriers) are super fast to work up and they make great gifts too! If you’re crocheting this water bottle holder as a gift, you’re welcome to download the Printable “Handmade With Love” Gift Tags at the end of the post. I chose to use 100% cotton yarn for this project to avoid too much stretch. I love the vibrant colors of Lilly Sugar n' Cream, but sometimes I just like sticking to white so it can match just about anything I’m wearing. You could choose whatever color you like, of course. Materials Needed: 1 skein of 100% cotton Lilly’s Sugar & Cream in white or color of choice. Crochet hook that fits your yarn. I used a US size 7, (4.5 mm) hook for this project. A tapestry needle A pair of scissors Water bottle (size of choice) - pattern is written for 750ml (25oz) bottle Bottle height = 11.8” (30 cm) Bottle base diameter = 3.1” (8 cm) Skill Level: Advanced Beginner (If you are going to adjust sizing, then you need to have experience with size adjustment) Finished Size: Diameter: 4.5” (11.5 cm) Body length: 10” (25.5cm) Strap length: 8.6” (22 cm) Weight: 2.04 oz (58g) Yardage: 97.5 yards (89.2m) Remember that the size of your water bottle holder will stretch quite a bit with the weight of a full bottle of water. So keep the strap length on the shorter side to allow for stretching. Gauge: 12 sc and 12 rows with a 4.5 mm crochet hook Bottom circle should be about 3 inches in diameter, or size needed to fit your water bottle. Notes: This crochet water bottle holder is worked from the bottom up in joined rounds. The strap is worked in turned rows. Numbers at the end of each round in parentheses ( ) = total number of stitches for that round or row. Beginning chains count as the first stitch in the round. You can make the pattern larger (or smaller) by changing the yarn weight and/or hook size, or by adding rounds for the base of the bottle holder (Note that you will have to increase with each round). Please note that this bottle holder will stretch with use. Mine stretched about 2 inches after a couple of uses carrying around a full water bottle Ensure that you end up with the same number of stitches after each round. I use US crochet terms."
