Water Bottle Bag: Crochet Pattern

Water Bottle Bag: Crochet Pattern

This water bottle carrier is as practical as it is a statement piece. What's the statement? I drink water and I am not afraid to carry it.

What you need

I Hook
Small amount of worsted weight yarn

Instructions

I Hook Rating: Intermediate – pattern uses the “flower stitch” which can be quite complicated for some.

Note 1: do not join rounds

Note 2: place marker in first stitch to mark beginning of rows.
