A crochet water bottle holder can use a firm strap, a granny stitch body, an interlocking crochet texture, or an openwork leaf stitch. These eight original patterns state their bottle fit, materials, and construction so you can select a useful everyday sling.
A sturdy hook and a tapestry needle for securing the strap ends are really all these need beyond your yarn.
Water bottle holder patterns to explore
1. Easy Crochet Water Bottle Holder
Amanda Saladin at Love.Life.Yarn fits a 16.9 fluid ounce bottle. It uses worsted weight cotton on a G (4mm) hook for a round double crochet body and a thermal stitch strap. The thermal stitch strap adds padding and grip, which is more comfortable to carry than a plain single crochet strap over one shoulder.
2. Granny Stitch Water Bottle Holder
Ashlea at Heart Hook Home uses about 100 yards of cotton or cotton blend yarn with a 4.5 mm hook. The finished holder is about 9.5 inches around by 9 inches tall. The openwork granny stitch lets the bottle stay visible through the fabric, useful if you want to see the fill level at a glance.
3. Interlocking Crochet Water Bottle Sling
Veronika Cromwell at Blue Star Crochet works in aran/worsted weight yarn on a 6mm hook, starting with an adjustable half double crochet base, alternating interlocking crochet with plain double crochet rounds, and ending in a single crochet strap. Alternating interlocking crochet with plain double crochet rounds gives the body a two color woven look without changing yarn colors mid round.
4. Circle Leaf Water Bottle Holder
Briana K Designs uses worsted weight cotton on a G+/7 (4.5mm) hook for an openwork circle leaf stitch over a half double crochet base, in two sizes: 7.85 inches around for a standard bottle, or 9.6 inches for a wider tumbler. Having two stated sizes built into one pattern means it can fit both a standard water bottle and a wider insulated tumbler.
5. Crochet Water Bottle Holder
Sandra Stitches holds two strands of Drops Loves You 8 cotton together with a J/6 mm hook for the structure needed to support a full bottle, fitting an 8.5 inch circumference. Holding two strands together throughout gives this holder enough structure to support a full bottle without sagging.
6. Stainless Steel Water Bottle Sling
Tamara Kelly at Moogly fits bottles about 6 to 10 inches tall, starting with a magic circle base and building an offset filet stitch body of alternating double crochet and chain spaces, in worsted weight cotton on a US I/5.5mm hook.
7. No Stretch Strap Water Bottle Holder
Janet Pippin at Simply Hooked by Janet uses a no stretch strap technique that folds a double crochet stitch in half and hooks through both bottom chain loops, in number 4 worsted weight yarn on a US 7/4.5mm hook, with a 22.5 inch strap and a 6.5 inch flat holder body.
8. Jute Force Canteen Carrier
Kirsten Holloway swaps yarn for jute twine here, working single and double crochet in about 100 yards of 1.5mm jute on a 5mm hook, with a 4mm hook for the edging. A long crocheted strap turns it into a crossbody sling rather than a hand-carried holder.
