• Darning Needle
• Scissors
• (Amazon storefront link for supplies)

Written pattern:

Base

• Make a magic loop, chain one to secure it.
• Row 1:
  • CH 2 (counts as first DC always). DC 7 in magic loop. Tighten magic loop. SS into second chain of initial CH 2. Don’t turn your work (You should have 8 total stitches).
• Row 2:
  • CH 2. DC 1 into first stitch. DC 2 into every other stitch. SS into second chain of initial CH 2. Don’t turn your work (You should have 16 total stitches).
• Row 3:
  • CH 2. DC 1 into first stitch. DC 2 into every other stitch. SS into second chain of initial CH 2. Don’t turn your work (You should have 32 total stitches).
• Make sure the base is big enough to cover the base of your bottle. Only repeat row 3 if your bottle base is significantly bigger than the base since it will stretch.

Body

• Row 1:

  • CH 2. DC in the BLO of each stitch (except the last stitch, since your chain two counts as the DC there). SS into the second chain of the initial CH 2. Don’t turn your work. (You should have 32 total stitches for the rest of the project).

• Row 2 - End:

  • Crochet under both loops now. Keep adding rows until the body is high enough for your bottle when stretched. Make sure you try it on the bottle to test the fit. Don’t cut your yarn when finished.

  <aside> 💡

  I like to do a non-mesh row as my last row because it feels more sturdy.

  </aside>

  • Row types:
    • Regular row on top of a regular row: CH 2. DC into each stitch (except the last stitch, since your chain two counts as the DC there). SS into second chain of the initial CH 2. Don’t turn your work.
    • Mesh row on top of a regular row: CH 3. Skip one stitch and DC into the next stitch. CH 1. Skip one stitch and DC into the next stitch. Repeat until end. CH 1 and SS into second chain of the initial CH 3. Don’t turn your work.
    • Mesh row on top of a mesh row: CH 3. Skip the chain and DC into the DC from the row below. CH 1. Skip the chain and DC into the DC from the row below. Repeat until end. CH 1 and SS into second chain of the initial CH 3. Don’t turn your work.
    • Regular row on top of a mesh row: CH 2. DC into the chain. DC into the DC from the row below. DC into the chain. Repeat until end. (except the last stitch, since your chain two counts as the DC there) SS into second chain of the initial CH 2. Don’t turn your work.
  • Get creative! Mix it up with SC, HDC, or TC rows.
    • Chains to start a SC row: 1. Chains to start a SC mesh row: 2. Finish by slip stitching into the initial CH 1.
    • Chains to start a HDC row: 1. Chains to start a HDC mesh row: 2. Finish by slip stitching into the initial CH 1.
    • Chains to start a TC row: 3. Chains to start a TC mesh row: 4. Finish by slip stitching into the third chain of the initial CH 3.

Strap

• Row 1:
  • CH 2. 4 DC. CH 2. Turn your work.
• Row 2-end:
  • Skip the first stitch and make 4 DC (make the last in the CH 2 from the previous row). CH 2. Turn your work. Repeat until strap is a good length. Test by adding bottle to the holder and holding up against your body. The strap will stretch quite a bit.
  • CH 1, cut your yarn, and pull through.
  • Make sure your bag is inside out (see seam created by BLO row). Insert hook 12 stitches from the edge of your strap, seam the strap to the other side of the body with a slip stitch.
• Weave in ends and you’re done!
