Crochet Water Bottle Holder Tutorial
Materials:
- 100% cotton sport weight yarn (you can double it or use a DK weight instead for a quicker project)
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
Pattern Overview:
Starting at the Bottom:
- Begin with a circular base.
Body of the Holder:
- Work your way up in spirals, with increases initially then working straight up.
Strap:
- Finish with a Romanian cord strap.
Pattern:
Base:
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 4.
- Do 10 double crochets (dc) in the first chain to form a circle. (The initial chain counts as the first dc).
- Slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain to close the circle.
Body (Round 1):
- Chain 3 (counts as the first dc).
- Do 2 dc in each stitch around.
- Slip stitch to the top of the beginning chain.
For Larger Bottles:
- If the base is too small, add an extra round by alternating between 2 dc in one stitch and 1 dc in the next.
Body (Straight Rounds):
- Without increasing, dc in each stitch around.
- To create a mesh pattern for airflow and flexibility, after a few straight rounds, chain 5, skip 2 stitches, then dc in the next. Repeat around.
- Adjust the mesh by doing chain 2, skip 2 stitches, then dc.
- Continue with the mesh pattern until you achieve the desired height.
Top Edging:
- Chain 3, then dc in each gap or space around with 3 dc in each gap for a sturdy edge.
Strap (Romanian Cord):
- Chain 2, then single crochet in the first of these two chains.
- Utilize the loop below the stitches to do single crochets loosely, ensuring you go through all 4 strands if the yarn is doubled.
- Continue until the strap is your desired length (suggested 120cm).
- Sew the strap securely to the opposite side of the holder’s top edge.
Finishing Touches:
- Weave in all ends with a tapestry needle.
- Attach the strap securely enough to hold the weight of a full water bottle.
Additional Tips:
- Always measure the holder against your bottle as you go to ensure a good fit.
- For a tighter or looser fit, adjust the number of increases in the base or the length of the straight rounds.
