Water Bottle Holder

 

 

 

I love the simple use of a crochet bottle holder. There are so many people that use water bottles. It doesn’t matter who you are if you have a water bottle you use and you travel. A crochet bottle holder is a great project for yourself, or a to make for some else as a gift.

I was inspired to make this water bottle for my kids to take to school and, as soon as I got started, I had lots of ideas for other styles of bottle holder that I could make, but like all pattern it takes quite a bit of time to get it just right. I always have more ideas than I have time to do! I was able to get started on this crochet bottle holder pattern it’s simple and great for beginners.

This pattern uses the single crochet stitch, which looks so incredible and is quite simple to do. I chose to use my big jug of leftover yarn from big projects since this project will be small and I can save a bit of money. You can do the same if you have any leftover yarn or if you want you can check out my (Crochet Essentials)store to fine new yarn.
