Alternating Crochet Water Bottle Carrier Pattern

June 16, 2015 · Rhelena · 7 Comments

This alternating water bottle carrier pattern is the perfect solution to carrying your water bottle around outside as you enjoy your favorite summer activities. It is great for hiking trails, the beach, or while at your favorite sports game.

The pattern is a bit more time consuming to whip up due to the stitches used. But it’s a neat pattern that you’ll enjoy showing off. Plus, it makes for a great gift idea.

This water bottle cozy got its name because the stitches are alternated between the front and back loops. It brings out a nice two-toned texture that could be used in a variety of projects.

As for the handles, I crocheted into the back bumps of the chains so that both edges would have a nice look. The handles are easy to adjust to any length you like.

I used a cotton yarn, Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. It is a medium worsted weight yarn. I like the cotton because it does not stretch as much as some of the acrylic yarns do.
