Lacy Shell Crochet Water Bottle Holder Pattern

This crochet water bottle holder pattern features a version of a lacy shell stitch. It works up quick, is pretty, and perfect for carrying your water bottle where ever you go this summer.

I crocheted this in a cotton and a synthetic worsted weight yarns and both turned out good, so it’s up to you what yarn you want to use.
